BLANTYRE-(MaraviPost)-The Competition and Fair Trading Commission (CFTC) this week issued a strong warning to the Medical Aid Society of Malawi (MASM), and some local radio stations for allegedly broadcasting false and misleading adverts.

The warning comes amid concerns that the commission received from members of the public. They allege that consumers have been charged shortfalls on medical expense and consultation fees; this is despite MASM’s claims that there would be no shortfalls payable by its members.
