OUR HISTORY

MRCM is an agency that offers Multi-sector Risk Management and Coverage Monitoring Services.
Being the first to offer Medical and Dental Indemnity Insurance Scheme for Doctors and Dentists in Malaysia in the collaboration with Local Insurers, MRCM has been continuously developing and enhancing the scheme based on accumulated experience and learnings.

The Professional Indemnity Insurance, which when we began in 1994, was only for the General Medical Practitioners being the FIRST ever in the country. Having successfully managed the scheme for a decade, we decided to extend the scheme to General Dental Practitioners and the Pharmacists in 2004. Again they were the FIRST in the country for these Professionals. After more than a decade, we are EXTENDING the scheme to all DENTAL Professionals, Generalist, as well as Specialists AND also to a range of Medical Specialists apart from the General Practitioners whom we have been catering for since 1994. Our track record on Our Products, Services, and Claims Management speaks for itself.
