Free Medical Consultation during U-Health Matters Health Fair.

26 March 2024

U-Health Matters held a Health Fair on March 24 at UTAR Hospital, involving both UTAR students and the public. 

There are several activities being conducted, including free medical consultations, a nutrition exhibition, Zumba, a game station, a food street, and performances.

There were two Western doctors and six traditional Chinese medicine practitioners providing free consultations to the public. 

The medical consultations included blood pressure tests, sugar level tests, and also pulse diagnosis. 

The team of U-Health Matters said, “We want to raise awareness of health related issues among the locals and students, especially the importance of medical checkups.”

He also added that around 200 people took the chance to have medical consultations. 

“The free medical consultation is a good effort, especially for those who can’t afford a medical checkup outside.

However, not many people know about this event, it would be better if the event was well publicised,” said a local.

Datuk Dr Mah Hang Soon, the Deputy President of MCA also visited the Health Fair on that day.

金宝校区拉曼大学公关系的学生，于3月24日（星期日），在拉曼大学医院举办了一场名为“优化健康 (U-Health Matters）”的健康展览。

展览现场举行了各式各样的项目，包括免费的身体检查、营养展览、尊巴（Zumba）、小游戏、美食展及才艺演出。

其中，最受欢迎的项目莫过于免费身体检查，除血糖及血压测验外，两名西医与六名中医师更是在场为民众提供免费的医疗咨询。

“优化健康”团队受访时表示，该医疗咨询共获200人参与，希望通过这场活动能提高当地民众及学生对于健康问题的认知，尤其是医疗检查的重要性。

此外，一名参与活动的民众表示，免费身体检查是一项有意义的活动，对于一些没有能力支付昂贵检查费用的民众来说，是个非常难得的机会。

“项目都很不错，比较遗憾的是，感觉活动并没有得到有效的宣传和曝光，导致部分民众可能因此错过了这场活动。”

与此同时，马华署理总会长拿督马汉顺医生亦于活动当日莅临现场，以示支持。
