Program bersama Sekolah Kebangsaan Pendidikan Khas (Pendengaran), Kampung Baru

Published on: 17/11/2018

On November 17, PETRONITA in collaboration with Institut Telinga, Pendengaran dan Pertuturan (Institute-HEARS) and Faculty of Dentistry, Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM) have managed to successfully conduct talks for parents on “How to cope with hearing impaired disabilities children” and “Penjagaan Kesihatan Gigi dan Mulut” for parents and students from Sekolah Kebangsaan Pendidikan Khas Kampung Baru (SKPK Kg Baru).

SKPK Kg Baru is a primary school for hearing impaired with 36 students ranging from 6 to 14 years old. Out of the 36 students, there are a few students without the hearing aids as their parents could not afford to purchase the hearing aids (under the B40 category). With the funds collected from Orchid Run & Ride 2018, PETRONITA will be helping these students to purchase suitable hearing aids.

Hearing check-up is needed to determine whether the students is in worst condition or even worst but still have ability to hear. The parents and student feel very grateful and thankful to PETRONITA which is able to help buy the hearing aid to them. The category B40 price is quite expensive especially for the family in intermediate and poor. They will receive the hearing aid after the next check-up with the doctor on 30 November 2018. This check-up is to know whether the students were comfortable using the hearing aids to themselves.

During the event, UiTM dentistry faculty brought their mobile clinic and conducted check-up for the students.
