SHAH ALAM, SEP 12: A total of 40 participants joined the Care-giving for Disabled People and the Elderly in Nursing and Community Homes Course recently.
Health, Welfare, Women and Family Development Exco, Dr Daroyah Alwi said the course is organised to enhance the skills and care quality of the caregivers who are the carers and volunteers in care and community homes.
She said, a more knowledgeable carer who understands the best care method can ensure the welfare of those cared for are protected.

“We have high hopes that this course will benefit and enhance the service quality in Selangor,” she said in a statement.
