Penghantaran ubat melalui pos percuma mulai 1 Okt, kata menteri

The Malaysian Minister of Communications, Fahmi Fadzil, has announced that free drug delivery via post will commence on October 1st, according to information from the Suruhanjaya Komunikasi dan Multimedia Malaysia (SKMM) and the Ministry of Health (KKM). The initiative, which will be carried out nationwide with a budget of approximately RM5 million, will be funded entirely by the government through SKMM.

Fahmi told journalists after reviewing the Persada Digital Connectivity and Ecosystem Integration Project at the Padang Besar Health Clinic in Kuala Lumpur today. The Deputy Chief Secretary of the Communications Ministry, Abdul Halim Hamzah, and Perlis Health Director Dr Ghazali Chik also attended the event. In May, Fahmi reportedly stated that the government would fully cover the costs of delivering medicines to approximately 80,000 patients per month through the Drug Delivery via Post (UMD) program, in collaboration with SKMM and KKM.

  • Low-intensity exercise yields greater pain relief than moderate-to-vigorous activity
  • Shorter-duration and lower-intensity programs show larger pain reduction effects
