The mobile clinic offers X-ray services, audiometry tests, and medical consultations.
A Twin Towers Medical Centre mobile clinic was established in Shah Alam, Sepang, and Klang to offer medical services to industrial workers there.
Twin Towers, which is under IHH Healthcare’s hospital group, said the clinic provides x-ray services, audiometry tests, medical examinations, and consultations.
Mohd Hareeff Muhammed, IHH Healthcare Malaysia’s Head of Ambulatory, Ancillary and Allied Health, the mobile clinic will offer industrial workers a range of services, from routine check-ups to specialised consultations.
“More than that, the mobile clinic’s range of services can be customised to meet specific needs and its scheduling is flexible,” said Mohd Hareeff.
Currently, the mobile clinic will exclusively operate within the Klang Valley, focusing on the industrial areas of Shah Alam, Sepang, and Klang.
Mohd Hareeff said there are plans to expand the service to other parts of the country.
