PMC Alor Setar Champions Health and Safety At Chinese New Year-Inspired Kirin Cup Football Tournament

Putra Medical Centre Alor Setar adds to the auspiciousness of Chinese New Year at the Kirin Cup Football Tournament with an infusion of community health and quality care.

Putra Medical Centre Alor Setar recently demonstrated its dedication to community health beyond hospital doors by supporting the Chinese New Year Kirin Cup Football Tournament held on 11 and 12 January 2025. As part of its corporate social responsibility efforts, a mobile team from the hospital provided crucial medical support throughout the event, ensuring the safety of players and spectators.

The atmosphere was unforgettable and electric. The crowds roared and boots thumped as each player competed with passion. While the energy out on the field was contagious, PMC Alor Setar’s medical team worked tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure everything was under control and everyone stayed safe. They responded swiftly to 12 cases of minor injuries so each player received the care he required.

Quick On The Draw With Medical Intervention

One incident stood out; a player suffered a serious injury and needed stitches. The PMC Alor Setar team acted fast, delivering timely care to minimise the harm that could have resulted. Though worried, the arena’s fans felt a sense of relief knowing that the medical team was right there and ready to help.

Beyond just reacting to injuries, PMC Alor Setar’s presence was a reminder of importance of personal health. As players and spectators mingled, the medical team seized the opportunity to share health tips and encourage the observation of safe practices during sporting activities. It wasn’t just about the fun and games or football that day. It was also about elevating self-care a priority in all aspects of life.

IFC Football Club’s Expression of Thanks

The chairman of the Islanders Football Club (IFC), Low Yit Meng, expressed his gratitude for PMC Alor Setar’s exemplary approach to the seamless support provided. “We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to the medical team from Putra Medical Centre Alor Setar for their exceptional service quality and unwavering dedication during our Chinese New Year Kirin Cup Football Tournament,” he relayed.

We are truly grateful for their invaluable support,” Low added. In fact, the crowd felt it. They could see the care, commitment, and reassurance from PMC Alor Setar. Combined, these qualities were everything that made the event even more memorable—and not just for the game. The above also reinforced the significance of putting personal health and wellbeing first.

Blending Community Centricity and Healthcare

PMC Alor Setar’s involvement in the tournament was not just about providing medical care, but about being a part of something bigger. Its support of the event contributed to the fine virtue of community spirit, showing that healthcare does not just happen in a hospital. It is present wherever people gather.
