KUALALUMPUR, April 2 — A Family Medicine Specialist has reiterated the call for Malaysians to undergo health screening early to detect risks so that treatment can be started earlier to control chronic diseases better and avoid complications.
The maxim that prevention — or rather screening, is better than cure holds true as there were many types of chronic diseases affecting the Malaysian populace, she said. Since health screening was so important, she said UMMC’s Department of Primary Care Medicine would organise a hypertension screening campaign from June 6-9, 2023, at the hospital.
Also, three in 10 or 6.4 million people in Malaysia were diagnosed with hypertension while one in five adults has diabetes or about 3.9 million people aged 18 years and above have been diagnosed with diabetes. Turning to depression, she said the condition was not always obvious as some people might purposely hide the symptoms from people around them, concealing the problem so well until they themselves might hardly recognise it.
