KPJ Healthcare Mobilises Resources to Aid Flood Victims in Puchong

KUALA LUMPUR, 19 December: What was supposed to be a soft launch of KPJ Healthcare Berhad (“KPJ Healthcare” of the “Company”)
new KPJ Ambulatory Care Centre (“KPJ ACC”) in
Bandar Kinrara became
an aid mission to assist
flood victims residing
in Puchong at the Puchong
Indah Multipurpose Hall.
After days of heavy monsoon causing landslides,
destruction on buildings and many housing areas,
KPJ Healthcare had pooled its resources
to help flood victims in need. A team of volunteers from headquarters and KPJ ACC Kinrara came forward and offered assistance to 63 families
and over 500 people who left
their homes to take shelter at the Puchong Indah Multipurpose Hall, as early
as 2:00 a.m.
The team had provided medical assistance to those in
need at the shelter, as well as distributed special
aid kits filled with basic medical necessities such as saliva test kits, dry
food, generic medicines, vitamin
C supplements, face masks and
basic toiletries.
“There are four shelters in Puchong area. Let’s hope
that more help to start coming in for all. My
team and I will continue to monitor the situation. We are ready to
mobilise more assets to assist, should the need arise,”
said Ariesza Noor, Chief Corporate Officer of KPJ Healthcare Berhad.
“At the moment, we are providing refreshments and temporary
shelter at the lobbies of KPJ Selangor
Specialist Hospital and KPJ Klang Specialist Hospital, and this is not
chargeable. Our Medical Officers are
available at our Accident & Emergency department (“A&E”) if they
require medical attention,” she added.
She urged those affected by the flood to contact the emergency hotline and abide by orders from the authorities at all times.
