- To Allow for a choice of legal representation for its members, from amongst a panel of reputable local law firms with proven expertise in the specialized field of medical law.
- To Provide facilities such as conference rooms for conducting arbitration, training sessions, talks and programmes to upgrade technical and other skills or for any other purposes of MDM.
- To Originate, and support improvements in the law which may seem directly or indirectly in keeping with the purposes of the company.
