OPKIM, an annual program held by pharmacy student. OPKIM, a privilege of being a pharmacy student. OPKIM, a chance to serve the community. Many pharmacy students grabbed this opportunity to take part in this meaningful program from 13rd until 16th April at Felda Kahang Barat, Kluang.
On the first day, Prof Dr. Imran Ho Abdullah had launched the opening ceremony. After that, the pharmacy students were distributed to different host family to have a better understanding about their lifestyle.
On the next day, students were divided into 2 groups which included Home Medication Review (HMR) team and Motivation Program (MP) team. Mission of HMR team was to visit the neighbourhood from door to door to provide medication review for the residents whereas MP team went to SK Felda Kahang Barat to give motivation to the students there via series of activities. Apart from that, they were assigned to set up clinical booth for selling of vitamin supplement by Pharmaniaga. Pharmaniaga and Alpro Pharmacy brought their team to help out residents for medical check-up. Also, clinical exhibition was set up to raise awareness among the residents.
In coming day, HMR team continued their mission while “gotong-royong” team was formed as volunteers to help residents in planting vegetable. Furthermore, Mini Carnival consisted of telematches and football games had been carried out among residents and students to strengthen their bond.
During the last day, closing ceremony was launched by Dato’ Abd Ghani Abd Rashid (representative of Sembrong Parlimen). This exhausted yet exhilarated event ended successfully with a group photo session.
