The management team and staff of the Andorra Women & Children Hospital visited the Pusat Jagaan Baitul Hidayah orphanage in Puchong, Malaysia as part of the hospital’s social engagement programme in early June, during Ramadhan.
Andorra believes in going beyond the provision of tangible items like food, clothing and money during festive seasons, and focuses on imparting useful knowledge to beneficiaries for more impact and sustainability throughout the year.
At the the Pusat Jagaan Baitul Hidayah orphanage, Andorra nurses and physiotherapists taught the children steps they can take daily to maintain their wellbeing, including body and dental hygiene, simple exercises, how to choose a healthier diet.
“Ramadhan has always been about giving. It is the month to think of and offer help to those who are less fortunate. However, our corporate social responsibility (CSR) is not just a one-time activity. Andorra is there to serve the community, and women and children’s healthcare is our forte.
"Healthcare is a noble profession. We want to bring back the glory of Rufaidah Saad and Mother Teresa, two of the world’s most famous healthcare persons. Their commitment and dedication to community, especially to the lesser fortunate have no bounds. In that perspective, we are committed in giving back to society in terms of imparting our healthcare knowledge to these children.
"Children are smart, and knowledge is power. Basic knowledge like what to do if they have fever, or menstrual pain for the girls, or muscle strain after doing house chores, to name a few. Even if they don’t have parents to turn to, the least they could do is looking after themselves without relying much to others. With this small contribution, to take into accounts the ‘pay it forward’ perspective, we hope these orphans and children from less fortunate families, one day, aspire to be doctors, or nurses, or any healthcare related providers” said Dr Khamsiah Muda, Founder & Chairman, Andorra Women & Children Hospital.
Andorra provides care based on shari'ah-compliant principles.
