Sub-Committee
In terms of section 15(1) of the MAF Act, the MC established committees to assist it to perform its functions and appointed experts from different disciplines in the healthcare industry. The rationale for Committees is for MC to divide its work into manageable chunks and tap into the specific talents, skills, and knowledge of individual MC members and experts from different specialties to enable the full MC to take decisions on matters delegated to Committees. Each Committee is governed by a Terms of Reference and exercises powers that are delegated to it by the MC.
Affordability Committee

It also fulfils an oversight role in respect of relationships within the healthcare funding industry. The sub-committee makes recommendations to the MC and has no decision-making authority. The Statutory Affairs and Risk Management Committee is made up of legal and forensic management experts.
Clinical and Coding Committee
It is made up of three MC members, HCPs, and individuals with knowledge of clinical coding structures.
