OVER 200 people flocked to the Community Service Medical Camp at the Buntong Sikh Tem- ple in Ipoh to get free medical check-ups.

The event, organised by the Malaysia National Sikhs Move-ment (GERAKSIKH) and sup- ported by the state Health De-partment, was held in conjunc-tion with the Vasakhi Day cele-brations.

GERAKSIKH secretary-general Amarjit Singh Gill said the people were given free eye check-ups, body mass index checks, blood pressure and diabetic screening tests. “There was also a booth for people to donate blood,” he said, adding that those who attended were also given a talk on organ donation.

Amarjit Singh said several doctors and staff from the Ipoh Hospital took part in the camp. He also said that due to the encouraging response to the event, the movement would organise similar programmes in other towns outside Ipoh.
