KUCHING: The MyCHAMPION programme, a volunteer services initiative involving various ministries and agencies, aims to encourage a culture of healthy living and environmental preservation.
Kuching Divisional Health Officer Dr. Johnny Pangkas emphasised the importance of the MyCHAMPION volunteers.
“It is certain that MyChampion volunteers will play an important role in acting as health champions in the community of a society,” he said during the Opening Ceremony of the MyCHAMPION Kuching Carnival at the Youth and Sports Complex here yesterday (Nov 24).
The ceremony, attended by representatives from different departments and agencies in the Kuching Division, was an opportunity to align with the National Agenda of Healthy Malaysia.
