Mawar Medical Centre in Seremban, Negri Sembilan, has set aside RM300,000 to support 30 patients in need of robotic- assisted total knee replacement surgery or angioplasty procedures.
The hospital’s welfare committee deputy chairman Lau Chee Boon said 15 slots were being offered for each procedure, with each eligible patient set to receive RM10,000 in medical subsidy.
“To ensure patients, especially those facing financial hardship, can undergo timely treatment, we have allocated these funds to ease their burden and help them recover mobility and a healthier life.
“This is our way of helping out as there has been a growing prevalence of knee and heart diseases, which severely impact patients’ quality of life,” he said during the hospital’s World Heart Day 2025 celebration.
Addressing the rise in sudden cardiac death cases, Lau said heart health awareness had never been more crucial.
The public, he added, needed to be educated about the importance of early health screening to raise awareness about preventing cardiovascular diseases.
Applications for the aid are open until March 31, 2026.
Those interested can contact welfare officers Tan (012-604 0577) or Shahira (016-852 0646).
