Early screening helps prevent chronic diseases — Exco

SHAH ALAM, Aug 9 — The state’s free health screening programme Selangor Saring not only helps in the early detection of chronic diseases but also prevents it from getting worse.

State executive councillor for public health Dr Siti Mariah Mahmud said registration for the programme could be made via the SELangkah mobile app.

“Do you have a history of family ailments? Overweight? Worried about your health?

“Come and join the Selangor Saring for a free health checkup. Early detection helps to prevent further risks. Do not wait any more,” she said on Facebook.

The state government has allocated RM3.4 million to ensure the success of Selangor Saring, which would benefit 39,000 people, particularly those with a family medical history, obesity, or an unhealthy lifestyle.

Physical screening, blood and urine tests, eye, cervical and breast cancer, occult or colorectal faecal blood testing, and prostate tests are all available during the programme until September 4.
