On 11th August 2017, PPUKM in collaboration with Faculty of Medicine organized a Health For Malaysia Programme
in Besut, Terengganu. Aimed to narrow the gap between public and healthcare practitioners, the team aspire to improve
health literacy and improve health awareness. This was the first time we had the priviledge to be involved in this Pro-
gramme.
The event started early on a fresh and breezy Saturday morning, providing free medical check-ups, blood tests, eye
check-up, Women & Men health check-up, Emergency Rescue training and free consultation. Pharmacy offered disease and
medication counselling , as well as promoted the importance of quit smoking and the quit smoking services offered by Certi-
fied Centres and Pharmacists nationwide.
The public were very eager to learn about certain disease and medications. As a pharmacist, it is our passion to en-
sure patients understand and appreciate how their drug works in their disease state. We motivated them by explaining the
importance of adherence to their medications. By doing so, we hoped that proper understanding will debunk their miscon-
ceptions about drug side effects and eliminate their fear to take the medications.
Quit Smoking clinic was one of the most popular and frequently visited booth. We provided risk assessment score
tests and spent time to explain the underated benefits of quitting, and the grievous harms of smoking. Many of them looked
motivated to join the quit smoking programme in which we directed them to visit the nearest Klinik Kesihatan for free nico-
tine replacement drugs.
We were very glad and honoured to participate in this programme. Last but not least thanks to the organizer and
Prof Dato’ Zulkifli Zainuddin for inviting the Pharmacy Team to participate in this life changing event.
