Persatuan SLE Malaysia (PSLEM) is committed to helping the Government set up a lupus registry to ensure proper allocation of resources to hospitals that treat lupus patients.

Speaking at a charity dinner in Petaling Jaya held in conjunction with PSLEM’s 20th anniversary, association president Dr Benjamin Cheah Tien Eang said the exact prevalence of lupus in Malaysia was unknown and, as such, PSLEM endeavours to support any initiative to create a national registry of the disease.
