Perak Lung Health Day 2013 Part 1

Perak Lung Health Day 2013 was celebrated on Sunday 19th May at the Sultan Abdul Aziz Recreation Park (Polo Ground).  Thank God the weather was excellent.  Organisation was superb except for the mildly disorganised stall arrangements.  All in all a great and successful event.

The Perak Chest Society Stall.

The Pantai Ipoh Hospital Stall.  Behind each stall were the learning posters where the answers for the quizzes were.

The top 3 Prizes were foldable bicycles. Lots of Goodie Bags.

This certicate is for the Walkathon participants.  There are 10 prizes to be won. 

Please come and learn about asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, nicotine addiction and obstructive sleep apnea.  There are 105 posters for your review.

Perak Lung Health Day 2013 is a learning, exercise and screening event for chest diseases.

A week before the Walkathon

One up for members of the Perak Chest Society.  We were at the Polo Ground this morning at 7.00 am all set to increase the number of participants for our Walkathon next Sunday.  We borrowed a makeshift counter from Abbott to display our T shirts and for a place to write.  We also brought along our 1st Prize - a foldable bicycle to encourage people to join the walkathon.  Given the number of people exercising this morning we are expecting a mammoth crowd next Sunday.  Pray for good weather next Sunday.

Asthma Lecture and Test

We celebrated World Asthma Day on Saturday 4th May at KPJ Ipoh Specialist Hospital with two lectures and a test.  Students from the two pilot Asthma Friendly Schools viz. SM Methodist (ACS) Ipoh and SMJK Ave Maria Convent participated.  Attendance was very encouraging.
