Management and Science University (MSU) paid tribute to World Heart Day 2019 with an MSU-Celcom joint celebration early October.

 

Celcom was represented by its Head of Culture Transformation and Employee Engagement, Muhammad Aziph Mustapha Kamil. The telecommunications provider presented MSU with two Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs).

 

 

“The Ministry of Health reported 8,776 deaths from heart disease in 2007,” said MSU president, Professor Tan Sri Dato’ Wira Dr Mohd Shukri Ab Yajid. “By last year, the figure had risen to over 13,500. Cardiovascular disease is the world number one killer among non-communicable diseases besides cancer.”

 

And age is a factor. The World Health Organization (WHO) projects that by 2050 one out five among the world population will have reached the age of sixty and above, whilst the Ministry of Economic Affairs forecasts that by 2040 Malaysia would be in the ageing-country category.

 

 

“Malaysian statistics also show a younger-than-usual average age for heart disease in the country as compared with the rest of the world,” continued the MSU president; “58 in Malaysia, 63 in China, 66 in the United States, and 68 in Thailand and Canada. It is time to relook into our lifestyles so we can recoup our former position with regards to health. We need to create awareness among society through engagement with community, starting with our students. Real things need to be done to create that awareness, so we celebrate World Heart Day today.

 

 

“The standard of healthcare in the country is a matter close to our heart. Through our extensive community engagement efforts in support of United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDG), we have been ranked World Top 301+ for impact in the inaugural Times Higher Education University Impact Rankings 2019. Thank you, Celcom, for being one of the more than seven hundred industry partners working with MSU.”

 

Management and Science University (MSU) also signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Malaysian Society of Cardiovascular Technologists. Present was the Malaysian Heart Society. A blood donation campaign by The National Blood Centre of Malaysia, also known as the National Blood Bank (Pusat Darah Negara, PDN) joined the complimentary health screenings provided by MSU Medical Centre.
