Assunta Integrated Social Services (ASSISS), PJ
Hospital Assunta recently restructured its community service with the establishment of Assunta Integrated Social Services (ASSISS). It comprises of:
|
1) Assunta Mobile Clinic
Mobile Clinic is set up to bring healthcare to marginalized or under-privileged societies. Services provided are basic primary care consisting of health consultations and monitoring of medical conditions such as diabetes or hypertension. Patients suspected of more serious problems will be referred to the closest hospital. |
|
2) Pastoral Care
Pastoral Care strives to provide emotional support to people of all races and religions. Unlike counselling where the counsellors offer suggestions to help you solve your problems, pastoral caregivers focus on listening to your problems and encourage you to find your own solutions.In a hospital setting where people need someone to talk to or someone who cares, our message is simple: We have time for you. |

3) Assunta Social Welfare Programme

Free treatment is provided to residents of social organizations such as Rumah Ozanam, Rumah Juara and the Assunta Childrens’ Society to help them manage their costs of operations.
