Prolonged delays in screening related to the COVID-19 pandemic may lead to delayed diagnoses and poor health consequences. In light of the issue, Pantai Hospital Kuala Lumpur (PHKL) is launching their ‘Screen To Be Sure’ campaign to address the continued impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on cancer care, calling on people to act early and re-engage with appropriate healthcare screening.

In 2020, WHO reported total 48,639 new cancer cases in Malaysia, which is equivalent to 133 new cancer cases reported daily nationwide. It is important for Malaysians to understand the need for screening to be incorporated as a regular check-up routine. Early detection saves lives.’ said Zhen Yang, Head of Commercial Development at Pantai Hospital Kuala Lumpur.
In conjunction with the launch, PHKL will be providing screening vouchers and consultations on breast, lung and prostate cancers to all attending guests.
