In the spirit of the festive season and as part of its community service efforts, Subang Jaya Medical Centre (SJMC) mobile clinic visited Fugee School in Kuala Lumpur and provided free health checks for nearly 200 children.
SJMC staff handed out goodie bags with the help of the SJMC mascot Teddy Paws.
SJMC chief executive officer Trish Hogan said, “There is no greater happiness than in spreading festive joy to these children and ensuring they have a memorable year-end celebration, while we take care of their healthcare needs.
“Our mobile clinic initiative is part of our responsibility as medical professionals to help alleviate health concerns, including among the lower-income and disadvantaged communities. We are also grateful to our supportive partners who made the visit to Fugee School extra special,” she said.
Fugee School is the educational arm under Fugee, a non-profit organization which provides education to refugee children in Malaysia.
Fugee School founder Deborah Henry said they are thankful to SJMC for including them in their healthcare roadshow this year and making the effort to spend quality time with the children.
“The merry atmosphere was a much-needed change from their regular activities and a lovely way to end the year,” she said.
Prior to the visit, the hospital had, under its Grant a Child a Gift programme, invited 10 children from Fugee School to a luncheon at its premises.
As part of its month-long “Tis’ the Season to be Healthy” roadshow from November 18 to December 15, 2021, SJMC mobile clinic provided free health checks and raised health awareness to various lower-income and disadvantaged communities in the Klang Valley.
The SJMC mobile clinic truck had made pit stops at 18 locations around the Klang Valley, including at Damansara Uptown, Sri Hartamas, Taipan USJ, Puchong Uncle Don, Kota Kemuning, Elmina Central Park, Taman Bukit Kiara, Shah Alam National Botanical Park and Taman Jaya.
More than 780 adults and children received free health checks including glucose, cholesterol and vision tests as well as kids’ growth measurement and low-back flexibility test.
