Few weeks ago I surfed few Ministries websites for info on grants, I clicked to LPPKN website and realized there is a Mammogram Subsidize Program offered to woman with monthly family income less than RM5K or under high risk group. Successful applicants will get a RM50 discount if they undergo mammogram test in LPPKN clinics or specific clinics that have been approved by LPPKN.
So, I searched for LPPKN office in Kluang and finally found out it is located in Kluang hospital. However, the officer told me there isn’t any clinic in Johor which has this mammogram test service, not even a private hospital that signed up in assisting this program. If you visit the official website for this program, you can’t even locate any Klinik Nur Sejahtera LPPKN as there are some errors in that page. The official told me the nearest clinic is in Seremban.
This program was launched under 2007 national budget and it is still not functioning at all in Johor state. Ironically, there are more than 50 applicants in Kluang so far but none of them have done the test. I wonder if YB Dato' Sri Dr Ng Yen Yen (Minister of Women, Family and Community Development) is aware of it.
