BINTULU: The Mobile Health Programme, organised by the Bintulu Volunteer Service Club (KKSB) in collaboration with LKB Clinic, concluded yesterday (Feb 23) after several days of providing free healthcare services to flood victims.
The programme aimed to safeguard the wellbeing of those affected by offering free health screenings and tetanus vaccinations to prevent infections, which are common after flooding.
KKSB Chairperson Angellie Stephen Raja said that the initiative not only provided immediate medical treatment for flood victims but also helped raise health awareness within the community.
“We understand the urgent need for flood victims to access medical care, especially when healthcare services become inaccessible.
“Therefore, this programme was established to ensure they receive proper treatment at no cost,” she said during the Mobile Health Service programme held at Surau Kampung Kemunting on Saturday.
Angellie, who also serves as the Political Secretary to the Premier of Sarawak, added that although the programme had concluded, KKSB plans to organise more health carnivals in the near future to further promote health awareness in the Bintulu community.
“We will continue running health initiatives like this to ensure the community remains informed about health matters and prepared for any risks, especially following natural disasters,” she added.
She also expressed gratitude to the staff of the DUN Jepak Service Centre for their assistance in coordinating the programme.
Meanwhile, the public is encouraged to stay updated on KKSB’s upcoming health programmes by following their latest announcements.
