Due mainly to ethical reasons, we will check all criteria stated above before allowing a clinic/doctor to create a page on Erufu Care. As noted on the “Terms and Conditions” page, however, information regarding the legality of a clinic/doctor written on a clinic/doctor’s page is provided by the respective clinic/doctor; we take no responsibility and assume no liability for such information.

Regardless if a clinic/doctor/specialist is listed on Erufu Care, we highly recommend that you check the criteria stated above before visiting any private clinic, or accepting treatments from any doctor/specialist. If you happen to find a clinic/doctor suspicious, please kindly contact us at careteam@erufucare.com. Also, you may want to report the case to the Ministry of Health at ckaps@moh.gov.my (for clinics) and admin.mmc@moh.gov.my (for doctors). Whereas in Indonesia, you can raise the case to the Local Health Department (for clinics) and the Indonesian Medical Council (IMC) at inamc@kki.go.id (for doctors).
