Lembah Pantai: Lembah Pantai Member of Parliament Fahmi Fadzil today launched the BIG Pharmacy telehealth kiosk that will benefit the Lembah Pantai constituents, especially the B40 group.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, the kiosk, located at the Lembah Pantai Member of Parliament’s Office, will provide free basic health examination services to the constituents to check their blood pressure, sugar level, body temperature, and Body Mass Index (BMI).

Fahmi expressed that this facility can benefit the Lembah Pantai constituents, especially the B40 group, when they visit the office to apply for aid or assistance. He noted that if they need to see a doctor later, they would already have some basic information regarding their health status, which will assist the doctor in deciding on further examinations.

Fahmi, who is also the Communications Minister, proposed strategic cooperation between BIG Pharmacy and several other parties, including the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC), to explore the potential of having such multifunctional telehealth kiosks in rural areas. He suggested possible collaboration with the national information dissemination centres (NADI) overseen by MCMC.
