FLOOD RELIEF
In December 2014, when the East Coast of Malaysia
and East Malaysia were inundated by the floods, 159
of our employees were seriously impacted while a
number of our hospitals were also affected, namely
Damai Specialist Hospital, KPJ Perdana, Kuantan
Specialist Hospital and Kuching Specialist Hospital. To
come to their aid, KPJ mobilised a relief mission team
consisting of consultants, nurses and support staff to
provide medical aid, distribute essential items and
help in physical rehabilitation efforts. The relief
mission was activated from 10 January 2015 to
2 March 2015. Two KWAN mobile clinics also took
part in the relief mission – one from KPJ Damansara
and another from KPJ Selangor. Contributions from
the Group were overwhelming, totalling an estimated
RM611,756.
COMMUNITY OUTREACH PROGRAMMES
As in previous years, our management and staff
devoted their time and effort to uplift the lives of less
privileged members of our community.
Our Talent Management department was particularly
active in organising outreach programmes. On 26
April, working with Kelab Sukan dan Rekreasi (KSR), it
invited 50 children from Rumah Titian Kaseh to a
healthy living senamrobik session at Menara 238. The
children not only enjoyed a good workout but also
received cash and toys that had been contributed by
personnel from the different departments.
During the holy month of Ramadhan, Talent
Management again with KSR held a Charity Bazaar
Jumble Sale to collect funds for KWAN. Booths were
set up to sell items donated by KPJ staff, while others
were rented to interested third parties. A total of
RM3,074 was collected from the event. At the end of
Ramadhan, Talent Management organised a visit to
two orphanages in Kuala Lumpur, Rumah Anak-anak
Titiankasih and Rumah Perlindungan Raudhatul
Jannah, to celebrate Aidilfitri with the children.
Supporting the initiative, KPJ donated RM5,000 to each
home.
Other leading community initiatives conducted
throughout the year:
• In September, KPJ Tawakkal Specialist Hospital
invited tennis enthusiasts to meet members of the
international tennis teams participating in the
Malaysia Open. KPJ was also the tournament’s
official health care provider.
• In October, KPJ launched its KPJ Baby Hatch
initiative for unwanted babies. The programme
consists of eight baby hatches in KPJ hospitals in
Peninsular Malaysia and two in Sabah and
Sarawak. At the same time, KPJ signed a
Memorandum of Collaboration with the non-
governmental organisation OrphanCARE to help
find adoptive families for babies and children.
• In November, KPJ Johor Specialist Hospital
conducted a health camp for around 500 villagers
from Kampung Sungai Tiram in Johor to mark
World Diabetes Day.
• Throughout the year, KPJ also staged blood
donation campaigns throughout Malaysia as well
as various charity events to raise awareness of
health living.
