Pantai Hospital Ayer Keroh visits Happiness Centre and children from Paediatrics Ward
AYER KEROH, 7 February 2012 – Pantai Hospital Ayer Keroh (PHAK) kick-started the year of the Dragon on a charitable note when a team of staff made a trip to the Happiness Centre for the Mentally Disabled Children in Klebang Kecil to convey their warm wishes for the new year and to send in contributions from the hospital.

PHAK has previously visited the Happiness Centre on several occasions, including more recently, during Children’s Day to deliver donations in aid of the children who desperately need more necessity items for their daily use and to do their part in helping to keep the centre running. This time around, the PHAK team brought in cartons of foodstuff, medical supplies and toiletries to the centre.
Roy, who expressed his appreciation towards the kindness received by the hospital staff said, “The children and the centre are blessed to receive continuous support and help from Pantai Hospital Ayer Keroh. As our centre runs entirely on the beneficence of the public, sometimes the going gets tough when we run low on resources. The generosity and grace that we’ve seen from the people who have visited us is truly wonderful and very much appreciated.“
