Ford Philanthropy has partnered with Sime Darby Auto ConneXion-Ford (Auto ConneXion), Ford’s authorized distributor in Malaysia, to launch the Ford Mobile Clinic. This initiative will bring essential healthcare services directly to underserved communities across the country.
Ford Philanthropy's support is enabling Auto ConneXion, in collaboration with Yayasan Sime Darby and MyFundAction, to reach rural areas where access to regular clinics is limited. This initiative directly supports the Malaysian government's efforts to improve healthcare accessibility for all. The Ford Mobile Clinic is projected to serve up to 9,000 patients annually in areas including agricultural regions, traditional villages, and Orang Asli settlements, primarily in Kelantan, Perak, Pahang, Selangor, and Negeri Sembilan.
Ford Philanthropy's contribution is crucial in supporting the setup, modification, and ongoing operation of the mobile clinic. This investment, coupled with Auto ConneXion's generous donation of a Ford Ranger and Yayasan Sime Darby's donation of another, demonstrates the value of collaboration in addressing critical needs.
The Ford Mobile Clinic, operated by MyFundAction, will mobilize a network of dedicated healthcare professionals and volunteers to deliver a range of essential medical services, including outpatient care, emergency support, health screenings, and health education. Ford Philanthropy is proud to support this comprehensive approach, which not only provides immediate medical assistance but also empowers communities to take control of their health and well-being.
The launch of the Ford Mobile Clinic is a testament to Ford Philanthropy's unwavering commitment to making a positive impact on communities around the world. It reinforces a shared responsibility to build a healthier, more equitable future for all.
Ford Motor Company was represented by Asia Pacific Distributor Markets executive director David Jeffrey and Ford Philanthropy senior manager Jane Holloway.
As Ford Philanthropy continues to champion community engagement and social responsibility, initiatives like the Ford Mobile Clinic exemplify a dedication to creating lasting change.
