PETALING JAYA: Sunway Medical Centre Damansara (SMCD) begins celebrations for its first anniversary with a heartfelt community initiative, "Feel the Beat of Health", a five-day campaign dedicated to raising awareness about cardiovascular health and empowering Malaysians with the tools for early detection.
Along with partner Viatris Malaysia, the event will take place at the Starling Mall, Level G from Oct 29 to Nov 2, featuring complimentary ECG screenings and consultations with experienced specialists, alongside interactive educational exhibits designed to empower Malaysians to take charge of their heart health.
“As we approach our first anniversary, we are incredibly grateful for the trust our community has placed in us.
“The 'Feel the Beat of Health' campaign is our way of advocating preventive wellness — nurturing a culture of health and proactive care within our community," said SMCD chief executive officer Jasmine Lau Mooi Hun.
Lau added: “Heart disease remains one of Malaysia's most pressing health challenges, yet many cases can be prevented through early detection.
“Through this initiative, we hope to empower Malaysians with the knowledge and tools to protect their heart health.”
SMCD will be offering complimentary electrocardiogram (ECG) tests to members of the public, accompanied by consultations with experienced cardiologists and healthcare specialists during the period.
An ECG is a simple, non-invasive test that can detect irregular heart rhythms, signs of previous heart attacks, inadequate blood flow, and other cardiac abnormalities -providing critical insights that can prevent life-threatening complications.
Members of the public can secure their free ECG screening by registering through an online form HERE, and attending the event on their selected day.
In addition to ECG testing, visitors can also receive complimentary health screenings that encompass blood pressure monitoring, glucose testing, uric acid testing, cholesterol testing, as well as audio and visual tests.
Four experienced specialists from SMCD will be available for on-site consultations:
> Dr Ida Ilyani Adam, consultant endocrinologist and physician (Oct 30 and Nov 1, 2pm–4pm)
> Dr Choy Chun Ngok, consultant electrophysiologist and cardiologist (Nov 1, 2pm-4pm)
> Saw Bee Suan, lead dietitian, body composition analysis pharmalysia (Nov 1, 3pm-10pm and Nov 2, 10am–10pm)
> Datuk Dr Yap Lok Bin, consultant cardiologist (Nov 2, 2–4pm)
At the centre of the event is the Mega "Jantungku" Walkthrough Exhibit, an immersive educational experience designed to help visitors understand first-hand how the heart functions and the importance of keeping one’s heart in good shape.
The interactive exhibit will be complemented by a series of other exciting activities throughout the event run, including a DIY Stethoscope Workshop, a Meet-and-Greet with Elfy, the SMCD Mascot.
SMCD invites all Malaysians to be part of this event and take charge of their cardiovascular health. Early detection saves lives and your heart deserves the best care possible.
