KUCHING, Oct 25: About 200 people are expected to benefit from free health screenings under the Kuching South City Council’s (MBKS) fourth health screening programme at Wisma Koperasi Kemajuan Henghua Kuching Berhad along Jalan Sungai Apong Baru today.
Held in collaboration with Borneo Medical Centre (BMC), the programme offers blood tests covering 38 health indicators to help participants better understand their health and detect potential medical problems early.
MBKS Mayor Dato Wee Hong Seng said the initiative aims to improve community access to healthcare, particularly for low-income families, senior citizens, and residents who face difficulties travelling to hospitals or clinics.
He noted that many people seek medical attention only when they start feeling unwell, despite the benefits of regular health screenings in identifying potential health problems early.
