Equipping Orang Asli with medical skills


LIPIS: After witnessing the lack of medical care and accessibility in remote areas, a team of doctors stepped in and set up Malaysia’s first Orang Asli (OA) medical post in Kampung Dayok, Pos Lenjang, here.

Known as DRsforALL, the initiative began in 2018 and has been serving more than 4,000 residents from scattered villages only accessible by 4x4 pickup trucks.
