Medico Legal

The area of medical negligence calls for a focused understanding of the intricacies of medicine and the health care system. We appreciate the nuances of the medical subspecialties as well as the people who are drawn to practice in those areas. Our team has the experience in cases involving obstetrics & gynaecology, cardiovascular surgery, emergency medicine, gastroenterology, pediatrics, cardiology, and general surgery to name a few.

JHJ was the pioneer in the Government's initiative relating to the "MSC Telemedicine Flagship Application. Our team was engaged by the worlds leading Telemedicine establishment for the purpose of brokering medical services and in providing e-health services to the public and private sectors in Malaysia. This global establishment has its subsidiaries and associate companies involved in e-health products across Asia-Pacific with involvement in USA, Korea, Bermuda, Saudi Arabia, Singapore and Malaysia.

We were involved in the tele-consultation aspect of the MSC Telemedicine Flagship Application initiated by the Government of Malaysia. We were also responsible for negotiating, drafting and finalizing a concession agreement valued over RM30 million for the purpose of tele-consultations between our clients and the Ministry of Health Malaysia. The tele-consultation exercise among others supports second opinion e-consultation referred to as Patient Management Consultation (PMC) which includes verification of primary diagnosis, a recommended treatment plan and follow up from experts around the world.

Our team also has the experience on the following areas related to medical services:
