PETALING JAYA, 26 November 2021 – While donating a kidney to a patient suffering from Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is an extremely noble cause, it is also a tough life-changing decision to make. That said, the National Kidney Foundation of Malaysia (NKF) continues steadfast in its mission to educate the public and raise awareness about kidney transplant and donation, in a bid to save more lives.
One of the ways NKF raises awareness is through its Community Organ Donation Drive (CODE): Life Webinar themed “Living Kidney Transplant”. This latest fourth instalment shared stories from kidney donors and their recipients.
Moderated by Consultant Nephrologist and Kemaman Hospital’s medical department head Dr Shahnon Anuar Shahrani together with Consultant Nephrologist from Universiti Teknologi MARA Medical Centre Dr Nur Hidayati Mohd Sharif, this emotional webinar gave viewers an inside scoop into the lives of two CKD patients and their donors.
Kuala Lumpur, 26 November 2021 – While Malaysia is starting to reopen its borders again and shifting to the endemic phase, the nation is still in a cautious state and the battle with the pandemic is still ongoing with the healthcare sector working tirelessly day and night to treat COVID-19 patients. However, people have the unconscious thought that frontliners are only considered for those in the health sectors, but they forgot that there are other frontliners who are soldiering on to keep everyone safe and sound, at the same time doing their utmost best to provide daily services to make life easier for us - sometimes at the stake of their own safety and emotional well-being.
Fully aware of the challenges faced by the ‘forgotten’ frontliners to keep moving forward, SUPER Coffee together with fellow frontliner and influencer, Dr Say Shazril has raised awareness in a recent video that frontliners are more than just those in the health sectors, but also involved those working day and night to keep the community moving forward, which include the delivery drivers, security guards, cleaners, support staff and among others. SUPER Coffee is determined to fuel the "Everyday Heroes" by having their SUPER rider, Dr Say Shazril to take on the good deed to reach out to fellow frontliners with SUPER’s notable coffees to help them refresh their minds and get through the day amidst the pandemic, while also letting them know they are in Malaysians' hearts and that the nation is grateful for their endurance to keep plodding on.
