12 April 2010, Kuala Lumpur
The Health Minister of Malaysia, YB
Dato’ Sri Liow Tiong Lai has signed the Global Declaration on
Parkinson’s Disease, reaffirming the Government’s commitment towards
promoting Parkinson’s Disease (PD) patients’ rights and in particular to
have easy access to proper and effective medical care and treatment
just like any other chronic illnesses.
The signing was held on 11 April 2010 at a charity dinner themed,
“Voices of Parkinson’s” jointly organised by the Lloyd Tan Parkinson’s
Trust Fund / LTPTF (www.lloydtan-trust.com)
and Negeri Sembilan Parkinson’s Society (www.nsmps-parkinson.org) to
commemorate World Parkinson’s Day and Malaysian Parkinson’s Day. The
charity dinner was aimed at raising the profile of the disease and to
generate funds for future health programs organised by both
non-governmental organisations (NGOs).
