Mobile clinic to provide treatment for rural folk
KUALA LUMPUR: Medical advice and treatment will be made available to disabled people in rural areas through the Semai Bakti Pusat Pemulihan Dalam Komuniti (PDK) programme.
Bakti (Association of Wives of Ministers and Deputy Ministers) yesterday received a van which would be converted into a mobile clinic to service the rural areas.
DRB-HICOM group chairman Tan Sri Saleh Sulong handed over the van to Bakti president Datin Paduka Seri Endon Mahmood.
The programme, conducted by Bakti and Gabungan Wawasan Generasi Felda, hopes to train, guide and aid the disabled, especially those in rural areas.
Endon said she hoped the corporate sector would continue to channel contributions to those in need, adding that “another van is on the way as one is not enough to cover the 340 Felda settlements nationwide.”
She said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi will launch the programme on April 18 at the Felda Jerangau Barat scheme in Terengganu.

“Many have not registered with us, so we don’t know what the actual number is,” he said.
