“I notice on television there were many Orang Asli who had died in Kelantan due to measles. We were told that such things could have been avoided if they had seen the doctor earlier and given vaccination. I hope such instances could be taken as a lesson so that they would not be repeated,” she told Bernama, here today.
For Jainah Bah Ar, 36, the course carried out in simple and easily understood language had provided new knowledge, including in matters which had long been faced by the community such as treating wounds. “But that was in the past, now there are facilities available. In fact, at Pos Lenjang there is a rural clinic and the doctor would come according to the schedule for medical checks. Soon there will be a ‘Pos Medik’ managed by us, so it is important for me to understand what is taught by the doctor here,” she added.
