 | On 16 June 2010, the Lion Group Medical Assistance Fund (LGMAF) presented a mock cheque for RM433,204.20 to Pusat Perubatan Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (PPUKM) for 64 patients who suffered from ailments such as cardiovascular disease, spinal or bone disease, cancer, lung and blood related ailments, including a few in need of knee and hip implants, aided by the Fund last year.
LGMAF Chairman and Group Director, Gen (R) Tan Sri Dato’ Zain Mahmud Hashim presented the mock cheque to the Hospital’s Chief Operating Officer, Dato’ Dr Noorimi Hj Morad. A few of the sponsored patients were also present to witness the event.
Since being established in late 1995, LGMAF has helped close to 560 people through sponsorship of their medical expenses, and donated medical equipment to several organisations, totaling about RM5 million. The Fund is open to Malaysians seeking treatment in local hospitals. |
