The Malaysian Pharmaceutical Society - Young Pharmacists Chapter


Happy New Year, everybody! We hope that the New Year finds you in the best of health, wealth and everything else important to you. And we also hope that you are looking forward to the third Sunday of this month as much as we are! Yup, Health-A-Thon will go live in action in less than 3 weeks and you can be sure that we are working as hard as ever to make sure that all of you will have a great time then.

For the uninitiated, here’s a recap on what you have been missing thus far. The Young Pharmacists Chapter was established in September last year and Health-A-Thon is our very first project. This project will serve as an introduction for us and also as a community service event in which all of us can do our part and contribute to the society. Talk about doing some good this New Year and this can be a great start to getting your resolutions from words on mere paper into real-life action!

Health-A-Thon is a race that has participating teams completing a designated task at each station of the race. A number of interesting stations has been planned along the route of the race with health themes such as the heart, the bones, healthy lifestyle, rational use of medicine, consumerism and enforcement.

What can you expect from Health-A-Thon? A chance to make friends with young pharmacists, other young professionals and students. A chance to mingle with the public as part of your tasks is to educate the public. A chance to have fun, fun, FUN!

Still hesitating? Let us take a sneak peek at the prizes in store. Thanks to Celebrity Fitness, 200 of the 14-day passes and 6 of the 3-month memberships are up for grabs. If one of your New Year’s resolutions is to start being active and exercising, then this will be a fabulous way to begin and get motivated! Not only that, there will be lovely freebies and door gifts waiting for you.

The main venue for our event is in Summit USJ and this is where you will register at 9 in the morning. The other venue involved in the race is Subang Parade. After an opening and briefing session, we will be waving the green flags as participants begin their race all morning and afternoon with a short break in between. We hope to wrap everything up nicely at about 4 in the afternoon with the announcement of results and prize giving, leaving you to feel rejuvenated for work the next day.

So, don’t go on missing things any longer! For more information or to register, please contact either MPS at mspharm@po.jaring.my or 013-364 0089 (Mr. Lam) or 03-7710 3217 (Ms. Sharizawaty) or jennifertanseehui@gmail.com
(Ms. Jennifer Tan).

We’ll see you there!
