Towards a Healthy Community.......



RUKUN TETANGGA SS2B NEWSLETTER

KOSPEN (KOMUNITI SIHAT PERKASA NEGARA) - Healthy Community, is an initiative by the Ministry of Health (MOH) and Community Development Department.The idea is to empower Malaysians in self-care to reduce the burden of Non-Communicable Diseases (or NCD) in Malaysia.

MOH provides technical guidance to designated volunteers who will carry out activities in the community. These volunteers have been trained to use the basic medical instruments to conduct basic check-ups for body mass index, blood sugar level and blood pressure.

The objective of these volunteers are to play the role as agent of change to establish a “Healthy Lifestyle” within a community. Under the concept of "Healthy Lifestyle", the focus will be on five basic elements namely:
  • Healthy Eating
  • Exercise and Physical Fitness
  • Do Not Smoke
  • Stress Management
  • Healthy Alcohol Consumption

In line with the intentions stated above, RT SS2B decided to take part in this KOSPEN program as we would like to do our part in inculcating a healthy lifestyle among our residents. As the saying goes, “Early detection and treatment can save lives!”

We will kick off this exciting program with the launch of “The 10,000 Steps Walking Trail” in our area, on 28th of May (Saturday)from 7am till 12pm. Details of the venue and program agenda will be distributed through a flyer soon.

Please block off this date in your calendar and bring your family and friends along. There will be a lot of exciting activities like FREE health screenings, exercise and dance sessions, talk and demo on CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation), FREE goody bags, FREE light refreshments and special promotion buys from various brand sponsors during the event.

Come and participate in this meaningful event! Together we shall kick start our commitment towards a happy healthylifestyle!
