Women urged to prioritise their health

Women urged to prioritise their health

WOMEN must make their health a priority and view self-care as an act of love for their families, says, Tan Lean Kee, who is the wife to Penang Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow and Pertubuhan Wanita Mutiara Pulau Pinang (PWMPP) chairman.

Speaking at the United for Health campaign organised by Gleneagles Hospital Penang at Gurney Plaza today, Tan said women too often put their families first and overlook their own well-being.

She reminded that simple habits such as regular check-ups, screenings and early detection could save lives.

“As women, we often put our families and loved ones first, but taking care of our own health is just as important. It’s an act of love for our children, our partners, and those who depend on us,” she said.

She cited the Malaysian National Cancer Registry Report which found that many women were still being diagnosed with breast cancer at later stages, stressing that more must be done to encourage early screenings and to overcome the fear of seeking medical help.

“This campaign, held in conjunction with Pink October and November, reminds us that health is something we share.

“When one of us takes a step toward better health, we inspire others to do the same,” she said, adding that men too should be part of the conversation, as cancer affects everyone.

Tan praised the organisers for uniting the community in raising awareness and promoting preventive healthcare, adding that such initiatives reflect Penang’s collective effort towards becoming a healthier society.

“Together with the state government , PWMPP, healthcare professionals, and community partners, we will keep working towards a healthier and more caring community,” she said.

Meanwhile, Gleneagles Hospital Penang chief operating officer Dr Benjamin Chow said the hospital’s “Patient First” philosophy underlined its dedication to health education, prevention, and awareness.

“Cancer does not discriminate as it can affect anyone regardless of age or gender. The Malaysian National Cancer Registry Report shows that over half of breast cancer cases are diagnosed at late stages,” he said, emphasising the importance of early detection.

He said the United for Health event, held in conjunction with Pink October and November, served as a reminder to stay vigilant.
