Mobile medical clinic


HELP Community Learning Centre 
hosted a free mobile medical clinic  
for refugees in our school premises 
on August 6, 2012

A group of 3 doctors and about 20 medical and pharmaceutical students studying in Russia, Ukraine and Malaysia  were in HELP Community Learning Centre to conduct a mobile medical clinic for Myanmar refugees. Best Hearing Aid Centre also participated in Providing hearing test on all the out-patients.

It is our hope that this will be the 1st of many more of such mobile clinics that we shall be organizing from now onward. We pray that more doctors or medical universities in Malaysia can contact us to do more of such clinics to provide medical care to the refugees in Malaysia.

The number of students in HELP 
Community Learning Centre have 
increased to over 135 in the month 
of July. It is becoming more and more 
challenging to manage a school of 
such size. We expect to hit 140 by 
next month.

There are about 2,000 Myanmar 
refugees in the Kepong areas. Medical treatment, even at 50% 
discount for those  with UNHCR cards in government clinics, is 
heavy burden to them.

There is an urgent need to set up a clinic that can provide out-patient 
treatments to refugees in the Kepong areas on a daily basis. Those 
interested to partner with us in providing such free medical services 
to the refugees, please contact us at 012 8730 380
