Kuala lumpur: ProtectHealth Corporation Sdn Bhd (ProtectHealth) under the Ministry of Health (MOH) is offering free health screening services to eligible Malaysians through the PeKa B40 2026 Programme in conjunction with the 'Malaysia, Jom Check!' campaign.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, ProtectHealth announced that the community health screening programme will take place nationwide on September 5 to 6, providing Malaysians with an opportunity to check their health status. The PeKa B40 2026 Programme aims to encourage the public to undergo regular health screenings to detect high blood pressure, diabetes, and high cholesterol problems at an early stage before they become more serious.

The screenings will include blood pressure checks, height and weight measurements, blood sample collection, and consultations with doctors. The programme is particularly encouraged for recipients of the 2026 Sumbang Tunai Rahmah (STR) who are aged 40 and above, or registered spouses of STR recipients who are aged 40 and above. PeKa B40 recipients are automatically eligible to attend the programme.

The programme will be held at selected locations across Selangor, Pahang, Johor, Kelantan, Terengganu, Penang, Kedah, Perlis, Perak, Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya, Sabah, and Sarawak. Eligible recipients are required to bring their Identity Card (MyKad) to check eligibility, with no registration or fasting required prior to the screening.
