Kubang Pasu Day 5 Report

We had an early start to the day and arrived at the health office much earlier than previous times. There we met healthy settings and occupational health officer, Mr Yadzid. He decided to teach us out in the outdoors about his job scope such as making sure schools and clinic are safe for the public, doing health surveys once a year, health checkups, beautiful clinic competitions and campaigns for needle stick injury.

Does Not Hurt For Her at all....

Later, the food department were busy with the Typhoid vaccination of food handlers so we were there inspecting the whole process.



After Noon, we met with a youthful man named En. Ahmad Mahmud, PKA Unit Promosi Kesihatan dan Prostar. The MOH usually gives him health promotion topics and he is given the resources to conduct them. These campaigns are for example ‘Kempen Cara Hidup Sihat’, ‘Kempen Menangani Stres’, ‘Cintailah Jantung Kita’, and ‘Kempen Pemakanan Sihat’. But he is more active in the PROSTAR program usually targeting youths between 13 to 25 although there are no age limits. He usually gives youth talks in many schools and works on getting more schools involved deeply in the Prostar program. He ended his briefing by kindly giving us a lot of his health promotion pamphlets and also PROSTAR badges.




Later in the evening, Dr Sawri Rajan, Dr Kay and Dr Lely visited us and had a review session of the past week. We left back to Sungai Petani around 6.We can’t wait for next week.

That’s it for now, hope to hear from y’all soon. Good Night and Good Luck!
