KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 10 — As part of a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative, the Malaysian Medical Association (MMA) is organising free health screenings for the public in conjunction with Doctors’ Day this Saturday, October 12, 2024, from 9.00am to 3.00pm at MMA House, Jalan Pahang, Kuala Lumpur.
Doctors’ Day, celebrated on October 10 in many countries, is a day to remember the contributions of doctors to the lives of individuals and communities.
The health screenings will include vital signs and blood sugar testing, breast examinations, ultrasound, lipid profile, and HbA1c and heart health check-ups (ECG). Other activities include Peka B40 status verification, blood donation, a CPR demonstration, and a lucky draw.
“On behalf of the Malaysian Medical Association, I am happy to invite the public to join us this Saturday for a special event to mark Doctors’ Day at MMA House in Kuala Lumpur.
“This year, as part of our commitment to the community, we are offering free health screenings to promote better health awareness and early detection of potential health concerns,” said MMA president Dr Kalwinder Singh Khaira.
“These screenings, which include tests like blood sugar, lipid profile, and electrocardiography, are invaluable in helping individuals understand their health status. With early detection, many conditions can be treated effectively, preventing more serious complications later on.
“This initiative is part of our mission to ensure that health care is accessible to all, especially the underserved.
“We encourage everyone to take advantage of this opportunity, not just for themselves, but also for their loved ones. Together, we can build a healthier, stronger community, and we look forward to welcoming you this Saturday,” he added.
