Johnson & Johnson holds meeting with their community service partners in Kuala Lumpur – 17 November 2003

Dr Anu Gupta, from Johnson & Johnson’s Asia Pacific Corporate Contributions division was in town for a few days to meet up with the Malaysian community service partners. This was the first time the various partners came together and was given a presentation of J & J’s global community service projects.

In Malaysia, J & J works with the College of Radiology, Obstetric and Gynaecological Society, Malaysian Paediatric Association, Malaysian Mental Health Society.

J & J has been an integral partner of the College of Radiology’s Breast Cancer/Health Awareness Programmes. In 2001, they donated substantially and allowed the Subsidised Mammogram Programme to become a phenomenal success. In 2002, the focus was on breast health education and the breast health workshops were launched. J & J has donated teaching breast models and posters for teaching purposes and sponsored breast health educational collaterals for the past 3 years. In 2003, the breast health education thrust continues as tackling breast health and raising breast cancer awareness must use a holistic approach. J & J has also sponsored the printing of the first edition of The Art of Being Breast Aware book written by Dr Evelyn Ho.
