Vital Signs Asia has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the National Cancer Society Malaysia (NCSM) to strengthen community-based health screening and preventive care efforts across Malaysia.
The partnership reflects a shared commitment to making preventive healthcare more accessible and empowering individuals to take charge of their health through early detection and informed decision-making.
“This partnership is rooted in our shared commitment to the community and to ensuring that preventive healthcare is within reach for more people,” said Kol. Bersekutu (PA) Prof. Dr. Murallitharan Munisamy, Managing Director of NCSM. “Early detection plays a critical role in improving health outcomes, and by bringing these services closer to the community, we hope to encourage more people to prioritise regular health checks.”
Starting 25 January, Vital Signs Asia and NCSM will commence public health screenings at multiple locations nationwide. According to Manvir Victor, Founder of Vital Signs Asia, the initiative is designed to help people better understand their current health status and access appropriate support.
The programme offers comprehensive noncommunicable disease (NCD) and cancer screening, including measurements such as body mass index, waist circumference, blood pressure, and key blood investigations. Cancer-related screening covers risk factors and early detection for lung, colorectal, prostate, breast, cervical, and gastrointestinal cancers, including AI-assisted chest X-rays for lung cancer risk assessment.
“These screenings will help individuals know where they stand, whether they are doing well or need guidance to achieve better health,” he said. “Our resolution this year is for the public: to know more about their health, make informed choices, and take proactive steps towards wellbeing.”
Beyond screenings, the collaboration aims to identify and train community champions, expand outreach to where people live and work, and build scalable models that can eventually be replicated in neighbouring countries.
The initiative invites the public to take the first step by registering for the programme, knowing their numbers, and committing to preventive care, not only for themselves, but for those who depend on them.
Special programme fee: RM199 (original value RM479)
