Another Mini Health Expo in Taman Kem Klang
13 September 2009, The Adventist Community Health Centre in Klang
under the leadership of Ms. Florence Devany instigated yet another
community health expo in cooperation with the community’s political
and welfare leaders.
“We would like to collaborate more with your group as we feel
that this program is a very good way to help our community folks,”
the words of Mr. Krisnasamy, Welfare & Development leader of Taman
Kem.
Close to 150 people availed the free health services offered by the
Adventist Community Health Centre (ACC) including Body fat analysis,
BMI, Blood check, Blood Pressure, Health counselling, Healthy
cooking, Hydrotherapy and CHAROBIX demo. A population of mostly
Indian origin, the medical volunteers saw many clients who have high
blood pressure. This common occurrence was due to the group’s poor
sleeping habits, smoking, alcohol drinking, financial-related stress
as well as unhealthy dietary habits. They were then taught simple
ways of treating hypertension through exercise, change of sleeping
and dietary habits as well as hydrotherapy.
“We want you to conduct another one of this kind of program very
soon,” according to the community leader.
It was indeed a great privilege to be a channel of blessing to
others!
