PeKa B40, satu inisiatif disokong oleh Perak Sejahtera 2030, memberi saringan kesihatan percuma dan rawatan kepada individu berpendapatan rendah, yang berumur 40 tahun ke atas.

Malaysia’s initiatives like PeKa B40 and Perak Sejahtera aim to improve the lives of low-income communities, known as the B40 group, by addressing health and financial needs.

If you belong to the B40 group or know someone who does, these programs provide valuable support. Let’s explore these initiatives and their benefits, especially for Perak residents.

PeKa B40: Prioritizing Health for Low-Income Groups

PeKa B40, an initiative under the Malaysian Ministry of Health, provides free health screenings and treatments for low-income individuals aged 40 and above. Common non-communicable diseases (NCDs), like high blood pressure, diabetes, and kidney issues, are prevalent in this group, and early detection is crucial.

PeKa B40 aims to reduce the financial burden that comes with chronic disease management and offers services such as:

  • Free Health Screening: for NCDs, promoting early detection and preventive care.
  • Medical Equipment Assistance : for necessary items like hearing aids, prosthetic limbs, or wheelchairs.
  • Cancer Treatment Funding: to ease treatment costs for those diagnosed with cancer.

The programme is available to all Bantuan Prihatin Rakyat (BPR) recipients who meet the criteria, providing a safety net to those in need of essential health care (KKMNOW).

Importance of PeKa B40 Program

Together, PeKa B40 and Perak Sejahtera reflect Malaysia’s commitment to social welfare, providing low-income individuals with essential health and financial support. PeKa B40 allows the B40 group to manage their health without facing overwhelming medical expenses, while Perak Sejahtera ensures dignified living for Perak’s elderly through financial assistance.

Beyond financial aid or services, these programs empower people, enabling them to maintain their health, independence, and financial stability.

How to Apply

If you think you or someone you know may qualify for these programs, here’s how to apply:

  • PeKa B40: Enrollment is automatic for eligible BPR recipients aged 40+. They are encouraged to visit participating PeKa B40 clinics for their health screening; no separate registration is required.

Promoters, bloggers, and influencers can help more individuals benefit from life-changing services like PeKa B40.

Raising awareness through blogs, social media campaigns, and word of mouth on PeKa B40 is an excellent way to support a healthier and more financially secure Malaysia.

Conclusion

PeKa B40 is a crucial pillar of support for Malaysia’s B40 community, addressing critical health and financial challenges. The more people who know about and join these programs, the closer Malaysia moves toward a nation where all citizens, regardless of income, have access to essential services and support.
