Community Services
We also have organized several women health related events and involved with community services. In year 2011, we organised a Well Women's Day, which has received 155 participants. This event was meant to educate women with some important healthcare issue and provide them a free health screening. This includes cervical smear, pelvic ultrasound, bone scan, random blood glucose and blood pressure measurement. It received favourable feedback and has been the basis for the faculty's Woman wellness day in 2013 which also turns to be a successful event.
We have successfuly organized courses and events jointly with the Hospital Selayang such as the study day the Management of Sexual Assault Victim and Contraceptive Updates.
