Kota Kinabalu: Some 150 rural folks, young and old, participated in a speech and hearing outreach programme, jointly organised by Hospital UMS (HUMS) and the Malaysian Association of Speech and Hearing (Mash), in Kudat earlier this month.
Mash Sabah Chapter Chief Elsa Rajah said the association was greatly encouraged by the turnout at the university’s Rural Medical Education Centre (RMEC) in Sikuati.
“This is the first time that we have been involved in an outstation event like this,” she said.
“We were just blown away by the response, especially from those who made special trips just to be there.”
