SHAH ALAM, August 5 — The Selangor Saring free health screening programme will continue this weekend in the Sentosa, Sungai Kandis and Bandar Baru Klang state constituencies, said state executive councillor for public health Dr Siti Mariah Mahmud.
She said the programme in Sentosa will be held tomorrow at the Dewan Serbaguna Sentosa, while on Sunday it will be held at Dewan MBSA Kemuning Utama for Sungai Kandis, and at the Klang Parade shopping centre for Bandar Baru Klang.
“Selangor Saring aims to provide the early detection of diseases such as high blood pressure, diabetes, breast cancer and many more.
“If you stay near Klang, you can participate in the Selangor Saring free health checks at the locations mentioned,” Dr Siti Mariah said in a Facebook post.
The state government has allocated RM3.4 million to realise Selangor Saring, which is expected to benefit 39,000 people, particularly those with a family history of hereditary ailments, obese individuals, or those leading unhealthy lifestyle.
Physical screenings, blood and urine tests, eye, cervical and breast cancer, occult or colorectal faecal blood testing, and prostate tests are all available during the programme until September 4.
