TAWAU: Members and friends of the Lions Club Tawau Host recently gathered together to organise health screening and provide medical treatment to 300 residents of Pulau Omadal and Pulau Mabul, off Semporna.
Departing from Semporna in the morning by speedboat for Pulau Omadal, the group immediately got down to work on arrival to conduct blood pressure and blood sugar level checks on the villagers. Those villagers who require medical consultation and treatment were attended to by Lion Dr. Au Yong. Children of the villagers were also given de-worming medicine besides vitamins that were also distributed to the adults.
After completing their tasks at Pulau Omadal, the group sped off to Pulau Mabul where they carried out same type of screening and medical care for the villagers there.
In all, the whole project benefited some 150 villagers and children.
