Sai Ram Dear All - Johor,

State Medical Camp at Tangkak.

The State Medical Camp at Tangkak under the capable co-ordination of our State Service Coordinar Bro. Dr. Shan and led by Bro. Albert of Tangkak Bhajan Unit was a great success. The medical Camp which was supposed to start at 9.00 a.m was forced to start (registration) at 7.30 am as the crowd were already coming in & building up. The Tangkak Bhajan Unit Devotees led by its Chief Bro. Albert who was also the Chairman of the Medical Camp did a wonderful & efficient job in organising the Camp.

On behalf of the Co-ordinating Committee of Johor State, I wish to thank Bro. Albert and his Team from Tangkak Bhajan Unit all the Doctors, Nurses & Volunteers (about 100 ) from the various Centres & towns/cities in Johor, Melaka & K. L esp.

L ) besides, Dr. Ong, Dr. Rajes, Dato" Dr. Vivek ( former Medical Services Director, Johor) ; Dr. Yethin & about 8 volunteers and 2 Trainee Doctors from Melaka to help at this Medical Camp. All in we had about 12 doctors incl. 2 Dental Doctors & 2 Trainee Doctors. I also wish to thank our Vice President, Service, Bro. Mahendran for his kind assistance in bringing the Doctors from K.L. to assist in the Camp.


981 patients including children were screened/treated. Various tests and treatments were carried out, such as :Blood Pressure; Diabetes; Dental; ENT; EYE & Worm Treatment for Children; Height & Weight; Pap Smear & Breast Cancer Tests were all carried out. Besides a Blood Donation Campaign was also carried out by the Tangkak GH where 60 pints of Liquid Love were collected. Also, 30 nos. free Spectacles were provided to the poor patients who had vision problem. One EYE case (child) was refered to Sis. Dr. Viji for specialist check-up and treatment.
