THE ‘Karnival Kesihatan Komuniti Sungai Pinang’ is set to place at Block 1, Taman Jelutong Jaya in Sungai Pinang on July 2 from 9.30am to 1.30pm.
It will feature health-related programmes and other interesting activities for the local community.
Sungai Pinang assemblyman Lim Siew Khim has urged the residents, particularly from Sungai Pinang to take part in the programme as they can get free health screenings.
“The health screening will include glucose tests (limited to 100 people), blood pressure tests and BMI checks. Additionally, traditional Chinese physicians will be also present to provide their expertise.
“I would like to thank Loh Guan Lye Specialists Centre for their support along with other partners.
“So, please come with your loved ones and spend quality time together while getting your health screened,” Lim said during a press conference today at the Loh Guan Lye Specialists Centre today.
The ‘Karnival Kesihatan Komuniti Sungai Pinang’ is jointly organised by Sungai Pinang service centre, Jelutong parliamentary service centre, Women and Family Development Committee (JPWK) Sungai Pinang and Jet Kinderland.
It is also supported by Loh Guan Lye Specialists Centre, Malaysian Civil Defence Force (APM), Penang Women’s Development Corporation (PWDC) and Yuan Yan Health Care.
Apart from the health screening, the carnival will also feature health exhibitions, sessions on CPR techniques, DIY stalls as well as games to make the event informative and interesting for the visitors.
