We would like to take this opportunity to thank all those who have contributed to LFLPC since 2014. The monies received have been used to provide free limbs to the underprivileged amputees regardless of their race and religion. For 2023, we would also like to extend our heartfelt appreciation to individual donors for their generous donations of items for clinic use, in particular the continued donation of Alltest Covid-19 test kits used to ensure the health and safety of all patients, staff and volunteers.
We would also like to thank all the doctors and volunteers who have served LFLPC since 2014, without whom we would not have been able to serve the Malaysian amputee community.
Collaboration with Rotary Club Shah Alam for Subang Jaya Medical Centre’s (SJMC) Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programme
LFLPC was invited by Rotary Club Shah Alam (RCSA) to collaborate with their programme with SJMC’s CSR department. For LFLPC, this entails the referral of SJMC’s orthopaedic patients from their CSR programme, i.e., those who require prosthetic lower limbs but are unable to afford them from the commercial sector, or unable to access assistance from government agencies or insurance companies. LFLPC was invited with other organisations to visit the relevant medical departments and meet the doctors responsible at SJMC in April 2023. The RCSA and SJMC CSR project runs from 1 December 2023 to 30 November 2024.

With grateful appreciation to the Prostheses Foundation for hosting the visit which was aimed at fostering a closer relationship between our organisations.
