“Rakyat Cares”
An initiative for the people by the people

Hello! We are a group of Student Ambassadors from the Asian Medical Students’ Association (AMSA) from International Medical University (IMU), Malaysia.

Did you know: In a group of 5 friends, chances are 1 person would have diabetes. Do you know how much effort it takes to manage it? Not many people do.

Here, we want to raise awareness on chronic disease management. With the ongoing pandemic, some may lose their income and miss out on medication. Some may  avoid clinic visits fearing COVID-19 infection. The result? Poorly managed chronic diseases in a post-COVID-19 world.

Through our webinar planned for these patients and caregivers, we hope to empower them in taking charge of their health, in living life to the fullest.

As we live our lives, we have people that we care for and people that care. For those who don't, chronic disease adds salt to the wound.

We hope you will join our “Rakyat Cares” campaign in showing support for diabetic senior citizens in elderly homes.   All proceeds will go to the “Diabetes Education for Elderly Residents” project by IMU Cares, to ensure the elderly have access to resources needed during this pandemic.
If you are keen to learn more about diabetes, here's an infographic on the cost breakdown for diabetes management.

Thank you for sharing some care and warmth for the less fortunate!
