The DAP Seputeh service centre successfully conducted a health programme on 26 November 2011. The programme consisted of a health talk by 2 doctors from the Taman Desa Medical Centre (TDMC) and a subsequent complimentary health screening. The talk covered issues on general health while focusing on particular diseases such as cancer. There were over 100 participants who underwent the health checks, at the DAP Taman Desa Community Centre, with a majority of them being senior citizens. I would like to thank the TDMC for their contribution to this event.
I hope we will be able to conduct more of such events, with the assistance of various medical centres, to promote a healthier lifestyle among Malaysians.
There is a government subsidised program for breast and cervical cancer for ladies. There should be a program for screening prostrate for men. Prostrate cancer is the number 2 killer in Malaysia. Women folks suffer when their husband pass away early. Can YB take up the case for men and family.
