On 16 June 2021, SD Guthrie International volunteered to be a helping hand at OKU Sentral's Drive-through Vaccination Centre (PPV) here at the Sime Darby Plantation Tower in Ara Damansara.
A collaborative partnership with the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MOSTI), Ministry of Health (MoH) and OKU Sentral, the programme saw 60 people with disabilities and 20 of their carers receiving their first vaccination dose on launch day.
The programme’s venue and logistics are provided by our upstream operations, Sime Darby Plantation and assisted by Yayasan Sime Darby and Ara Damansara Medical Centre.
A special thank you and appreciation to all of our volunteers, medical personnel from various organizations namely Protect Health, The People’s Volunteer Corps (RELA), OKU Sentral and our employees who had volunteered to help.
With this initiative, we hope to help to ease the vaccination process for the 13,500 registered recipients and their carers over the next few months.
