Allianz Malaysia supports Cahaya Society’s Medical Outreach Programme

Allianz Malaysia Berhad (Allianz Malaysia) via its corporate social responsibility (CSR) arm, Allianz4Good, supports the Pertubuhan Pendidikan Anak Cahaya Sabah (Cahaya Society) Medical Outreach Programme (MOP) for vulnerable communities in Sandakan, Sabah.

MOP is a six-month initiative that is expected to benefit 1,000 beneficiaries (700 adults and 300 children) from vulnerable communities in 20 locations across Sandakan.
MOP provides beneficiaries with basic medical check-ups, psychosocial assessment and treatment, community-based nutrition programme, and dental check-up, which will be conducted by the qualified medical doctors.
As of June 2024, Cahaya Society has reached out to 100 beneficiaries from three different villages, namely Kampung Kagayan, Kampung Bukit Petronas, and Kampung Gelam.
In 2023, Allianz Malaysia supported Cahaya Society's Safety & Health Module Development Project which aimed to empower the community with knowledge and skills for safer living and work environments, benefiting students at five Alternative Learning Centres (ALCs).
Based on the data collected on the health conditions of the beneficiaries from the said Project, MOP is initiated to focus on healthcare of the beneficiaries from communities surrounding the ALCs to empower them with the knowledge for better healthcare management.
Head of Allianz4Good, Ng Siew Gek said, "Through MOP, we hope to provide accessibility to healthcare and enable the communities to receive the needful medical care and support.”
Executive Director of Cahaya Society, Wadzkir Abdul Hamid said, “The objective of the MOP is to promote healthy lifestyle in the community which is fundamental in public health within the society regardless of their socio-economic background. Through health education, we believe that more communities can have better access to healthcare in the future.”
