Community Initiative (2) - Community Clinic

I have a meaningful discussion with 3 right minded person on 2nd September to discuss the proposal to establish a community clinic. Dr Muthu, as usual is supportive with the idea of getting voluntary doctor to serve and pharmacy to contribute the medicine and Madam Sham of RT Section 4A is willing to get community members to help out in administration and registration works. Dr Citra, MBPJ's doctor offered herself to be part of the team. If we can get thing moving as planned, the clinic shall be able to start latest by end of 2008.

The initial plan is to provide out-patient treatment to the elderly, the disabled group, the poor, the underprivileged and the children on alternate evening at the MBPJ Clinic in Section 8, PJ. Priority will be given to those who cannot afford. The service is to be extended to other areas provided that response is good and volunteers are forthcoming.

I believe it will be the first community clinic operated by a local authority in partnership with the community, if took off.
