MCIS Life, National Cancer Society Malaysia Begin Mobile Clinic Collaboration

In conjunction with World Cancer Day 2022, MCIS Insurance Berhad (MCIS Life) has begun a one-of-a-kind community partnership with the National Cancer Society Malaysia (NCSM) through the sponsorship of a custom-made mobile truck worth about RM400,000.

A fully customised vehicle measuring about 17ft in length and weighing around three tonnes nick-named as the ‘Purple Truck’, it is expected to hit the roads in May 2022, making its way through various rural locations across Peninsular Malaysia.

The truck includes medical equipment and personnel made up of one doctor, two nurses, and five volunteers, among others.

NCSM is all set to utilise this truck to kick-start its Covid-19 vaccination drive specifically targeting senior citizens as well as the public with mobility limitations who are living outside of the Klang Valley.

“Every Malaysian, regardless of economic standing has equal rights to essential healthcare services, especially during the present time when access to Covid-19 vaccination is critical for those who are living in rural locations as well as those facing physical mobility challenges. We’re certainly humbled to support this initiative,” said MCIS Life Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, Mr. Prasheem Seebran.

This strategic partnership is well aligned with the life insurer’s brand promise of #PeopleHelpingPeople as Malaysia gradually recovers from the pandemic and has successfully implemented its vaccination programme reaching out to the vast majority of its urban population.

“We’re excited with this breakthrough partnership which stands as an example of how essential healthcare services can be inclusive of people from all walks of life. This initiative also paves the way for MCIS Life to showcase how it can play a bigger role in caring for the wellbeing of rural Malaysians,” said Dr Murallitharan M., Managing Director, NCSM.
