BANGI, 11 July 2017- Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (ÿÈÕ´óÈüapp) opened its second branch of ÿÈÕ´óÈüapp Health Polyclinic at Bangi Avenue recently.
ÿÈÕ´óÈüapp Vice-Chancellor, Prof Dato’ Seri Dr Noor Azlan Ghazali who officiated the opening of the Polyclinic said this is one of the ways to expand ÿÈÕ´óÈüapp’s healthcare services.
“I see all this as a university service to the community and hope God will bless this effort,” he said.
Meanwhile, ÿÈÕ´óÈüapp Holdings chairman, Muhammad Ibrahim said the opening of ÿÈÕ´óÈüapp Polyclinic is a service provided not only for ÿÈÕ´óÈüapp but also for the community.
“ÿÈÕ´óÈüapp polyclinics offer lower rates for treatment compared to other clinics and will be opened for 24 hours.
“The medicines used are safe since they are sourced from reliable sources,” he said.
He said the new branch of ÿÈÕ´óÈüapp Polyclinic also offers services including vaccines for typhoid and rotavirus to prevent diseases such as tuberculosis and influenza.
“In addition, these branches also offer ultrasound services. X-ray services will be available in the future,” he explained.
In terms of doctors’ recruitment, he said ÿÈÕ´óÈüapp would prioritize the recruitment of ÿÈÕ´óÈüapp medical graduates.
“But if there are no applicants from ÿÈÕ´óÈüapp medical graduates, we will accept doctors who are recognized and registered with the Malaysian Medical Council (MMC) to work here (polyclinic).
ÿÈÕ´óÈüapp will also be opening four new branches located in Seremban 2, Putrajaya, Kota Warisan and Salak Perdana.
