COMMUNITY CARE IN ACTION – R.E.D ASSOCIATION’S SUCCESSFUL MEDICAL CAMP
On 20th July 2024, the R.E.D Association, founded by AIMST University medical students, held its annual medical camp at Sri Sithi Vinayagar Temple Sungai Petani in collaboration with AIMST Clinic. Guided by Dr. Leela Anthony and advisors Ms. Nur Adilla Bt Zaini and Ms. Nurhidayah Bt Rosman, the event was a milestone in the association’s mission to “Reach Out, Embrace, and Deliver” medical care to those in need.
Featuring 11 event committee members, 22 volunteers, five doctors, and four healthcare professionals, the camp provided free medical check-ups, including BMI, glucose, BP examinations, eye, and paediatric consultations. Over two months of planning culminated in serving 70 participants, exceeding the initial goal.
The event, organised into 10 stations, was a success, demonstrating the association’s commitment to community service. It highlighted teamwork between university members and the community, earning praise as “One of the Best Medicamps Ever.”
Donations and alms were significant, with the temple community providing food for volunteers and doctors. An estimated RM 200 was collected, showcasing the local participants’ support for the cause.
