PETALING JAYA: Avaland has kicked off the second year of its health screening programme in partnership with the National Kidney Foundation (NKF) Malaysia.
Building on the success of over 2,000 screenings in 2024, this year’s goal is to double that - to reach 4,000 screenings across NKF dialysis centres and Avaland’s sales galleries.
At the heart of this initiative is Avaland’s commitment to its mission of creating communities and enhancing lives, while nurturing a strong culture of giving among its people.
Partnering with NKF's Public Education department, this year's health screening was rolled out at Avaland Gallery @ Anja Bangi recently, with upcoming sessions scheduled at Avenue25 in Subang Jaya, Avaland Show Village at Cybersouth and Lakefront Cyberjaya in the months ahead.
The programme provides comprehensive health checks, including BMI, blood pressure, cholesterol, glucose and urine tests, alongside private consultations to support the early detection of non-communicable diseases (NCDs).
As part of its ongoing corporate social responsibility efforts, Avaland has strengthened its partnership with NKF by donating 10 additional advanced vital signs monitoring devices - bringing its total contribution to 20 units.
These devices, equipped with ECG and oxygen saturation (SpO₂) monitoring, have been deployed to NKF dialysis centres nationwide, including those in Penang, Kedah, Perak, Johor, Kelantan, Terengganu, Sabah and Sarawak; extending beyond the initial Klang Valley focus.

Avaland chief executive officer Apollo Bello Tanco (Pol) reaffirmed Avaland’s dedication to community well-being. “We are happy to extend our support to NKF dialysis centres nationwide. Enhancing access to real-time health monitoring is a critical step in delivering quality care to kidney patients.
“Through our collaboration with NKF, we aim to continually empower communities to take charge of their health. Early detection and preventive care are essential, especially for non-communicable diseases that often show no symptoms until it’s too late.
“By offering complimentary screenings, we hope to raise awareness, encourage healthier lifestyles and reduce the impact of preventable diseases,” Pol added, reinforcing the programme’s purpose.
NKF Malaysia chief executive officer Choo Kok Ming said, “Avaland is not only helping us enhance patient care through these much-needed devices but also actively promoting early detection and health education through community screenings.
“Their commitment goes beyond financial support - it reflects a sincere concern for the health and well-being of Malaysians, regardless of region.”
Avaland remains steadfast in its commitment to embedding ESG principles into every aspect of its developments, with a strong focus on community well-being. By prioritising initiatives that enhance the lives of current and future generations, Avaland strives to create meaningful, lasting impact that transcends its physical developments.
