Organ donation write-up

It has been quite some time since I last touched on organ donation in my blog. This past month, there have been 2 organ donation-related events which I attended.

The first one was about a month ago, on 7th March, at the Universiti Kuala Lumpur MIAT campus in Sepang where a talk on this issue was given. I was one of the speakers, and the response was good. The write-up on this can be found in today's Berita Harian or alternatively read online here.

The second event took place on 21st March at Subang Sheraton Hotel. This was more of a dinner given in appreciation of the media coverage and publicity given to organ donation and other health-related issues in 2006. This event which is hosted by the Ministry of Health honoured journalists and photographers who have published outstanding articles and/or photographs.

Hopefully, even in this day and age run by the Internet, the conventional media can continue to play a greater role in promoting health awareness to the general public.
