Sibu branch of Sarawak Family Planning Association (SFPA) will be expanding its community outreach programme.
Newly appointed chairman Imelda Amelia Billie made the pledge, stressing that stronger commitment and clearer communication were key to expanding the association’s outreach and impact.
Imelda, appointed to the post at the branch’s 61st annual general meeting (AGM), expressed her appreciation to volunteers and partners for their support.
Meanwhile, branch secretary Wong Lee Lee said SFPA would continue to be a trusted provider of reproductive and preventive healthcare services despite increasing competition.
“Our focus remains not only on delivering reliable clinical services and a comprehensive range of contraceptive methods that meet the community’s needs, but on providing professional blood testing and vaccination services to ensure residents have access to affordable preventive care,” she said.
SFPA, she said, would continue strengthening reproductive health education and general health awareness programmes, particularly among youth, to help them make informed life decisions.
The AGM, attended by 50 committee members, general members and staff, saw outgoing vice-chairman Dr John Tang Ing Ching named honorary adviser.
Other office-bearers are Hamidah Rapaee (vice-chairman) and Kevin Wong Kiung Kion (treasurer) while committee members are Liu Kuei Feng, Anisysha Anita Suppi and Noorashikin Sarakawi.
Additional honorary advisers are Datuk Dr Soon Choon Teck and Datin Judy Lau Kung Ee.
The youth committee comprises Nurul Azwa Abdul Rahman (chairman), Faris Danial Chiong (vice-chairman), Mohd Farish Aqasha Mohd Khairy Henary (secretary), Fuji Shim Fu Ji (treasurer) alongside members Aerisya Rifhan Mohamad Hasnin, Nur Syamimi Abdullah Jefferi, Nouvelle Tra Elvis and Andry Gundi Kendawang.
