UMMC Expands Free Dengue Vaccine and Health Screening Programme for Children in Klang Valley
Published
Universiti Malaya Medical Centre (UMMC) has expanded its Anaemia Screening and Dengue Prevention Programme. The programme offers free screening and vaccination services for children. Its aim is to bring these healthcare services closer to families in the Klang Valley area.
Dengue remains an important public health problem in Malaysia. The disease is spread by Aedes mosquitoes and can cause severe high fever. Therefore, vaccination and early health checks are very important for protecting children.
Anaemia screening is also included in this programme. Anaemia is a condition in which the body lacks healthy red blood cells. Early examination can help doctors detect this problem more quickly and provide suitable treatment.
Parents who wish to obtain further information about this programme may contact UMMC. The hospital encourages families in the Klang Valley to take advantage of this opportunity to safeguard the health of their children.
