Untuk renungan

Belum lagi minggu pertama di bulan yang mulia ini dah ada yang ingin menegakkan benang yang basah 😓
Fahamilah di negara maju, isu kesihatan biasanya isu “bipartisan” - benda yang baik semua sokong. Tak ada isunya di sini.
Umum dah ketahui bahawa merokok itu merbahayakan kesihatan. Malahan bagi umat Islam yang berpuasa, dikategorikan haram pun sudah, melalui fatwa kebangsaan 😓
Rata2 rakyat Malaysia menyokong usaha murni KEMENTERIAN KESIHATAN MALAYSIA dan menterinya. Maka tolong lah hentikan hendak mempolitikan isu rokok. Tiara isu disini.
Satu lagi, 77.2% rakyat malaysia tidak merokok. Hormati kami!

Can never be too careful

For the first time, in the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11), WHO is classifying gaming disorder as an addictive behaviour disorder so now we can measure how many people are affected.

Work by our team in to***co control for UMCAS . A decade and we see the fruits of labour. Started in 2009 with the sole intention to get our dental colleagues into the agenda, led by Prof Dr Rahimah and Prof Hussain through a grant by University of Malaya. This initiative led to the development of the SCOPE training which was continued through the Grand Challenge Grant. Now they are truly in their own element - through KOTAK a national and possibly world first. Every child is accounted for! Truly amazing and well done

We are extremely happy to be part of this initiative since 2015. It’s amazing to see how far we have come
