Speech by M.Kula Segaran on the occasion of launching of basic medical check up and awareness services campaign in Ipoh
---------------------------------

Malaysia has done a remarkable job in containing the Covid 19 pandemic in comparison to other countries who are much developed.

 Inspite of this success it is vital for Malaysians  not to be complacent,and learn from the new spike of Covid 19 cases in other countries.

According to medical professionals  the covid 19 related death rates are higher among  people with pre-existing illness and those who are in the margins of society who cant afford medical check ups.

In this context  it is vital that Malaysians with pre -existing illness follow a  schedule medical check up with commitment  to ensure pre-existing illness like diabates and hypetension are kept under control.

Those who feel they are healthy  should also  go for frequent  medical check ups as a preventive measure.

Keeping this in mind , Team
Ipoh Barat
would be launching a basic medical check up process for Ipoh  residents with the presence  of a doctor.

We have been   providing consistent basic services to our constituents over the years and this new medical check up and awareness campaign are in addition to that.

We hope in a small way we can assist people to be aware of the current medical condition and  to take necessary follow up action.


Health is wealth and all efforts must be streamline to assist the B40 and the less fortunate.

Team Ipoh barat is commited to make this medical project inclusive to all irespective of race and religion.
