Maxim, Apad donations boost patient comfort, mobility at hospital

Tunku Azizah Hospital in Kuala Lumpur has received valuable support from Maxim Malaysia, partnering with the Land Public Transport Agency (Apad), to enhance patient comfort and mobility. The collaboration saw the donation of 15 waiting-area benches and 15 wheelchairs to aid daily hospital operations. At the handover ceremony, which featured representatives from the private sector, state regulators, and hospital administration, Syed Abdul Syarif Syed Peiaru, head of Maxim Kuala Lumpur, expressed gratitude for the opportunity to collaborate and highlighted the significance of small contributions backed by a genuine desire to help.

He emphasized that such efforts contribute to creating a more caring environment. The donated items will particularly benefit patients and companions waiting for appointments, with the benches offering more comfort, and the wheelchairs simplifying transport for patients with reduced mobility between departments. This initiative aligns with Apad's emphasis on public-private sector collaboration to foster community well-being.

The event underscores Maxim Malaysia's commitment to corporate social responsibility, with the company rolling out various initiatives nationwide to improve public spaces, education, and healthcare. Tunku Azizah Hospital was selected due to its high patient load and the need for additional equipment to boost visitor comfort.
