Getting the senior folks to attend a Health Forum is never an easy task. Especially if it is the second One at the same Venue i.e.The Sungai Buloh Senior Citizens Club.
Dr Gan Ing Earn, Consultant Gastroenterologist and Internal Medicine Physician of Tropicana Medical Centre volunteered to give a Talk on Helicobacter Pylori, Hepatitis, Liver Cancer as well as give a Brief Overview about Internal Medicine.
Dr Tong Sheau Wann, an experienced General Surgeon from Ampang Hospital covered another hot topic, Breast Cancer. With the generous support from The Tropicana Medical Centre, a General Health Screening Service was provided to those who attended the Forum, and a Voucher for a Health Check worth RM255 was given to all those who attended the Session.
The Forum was conducted in Chinese Language (Mandarin), and was made as simple as possible for any lay person to understand. The interaction between the Speakers and the Audience was excellent and was just oozing with curiosity and interest. Dr Gan and Dr Tong were surrounded by the audience even long after the Session. They were just too many questions to ask and the two Doctors portrayed their selfless and generous spirit by patiently answering and interacting with those present.
The crowd of almost a hundred was a tough lot to handle for personalized interaction. Yet, the calibre of such doctors like Dr Gan and Dr Tong, showed how concern from the heart can go a long way to touch and transform lives. Kudos to you, Dr Gan and Dr Tong, the world definitely needs more and more true community-centred professionals like you! Thanks Beyond Words for your sacrifice and exemplary patience!
