Pfizer - How we help
 
 
Pfizer's community initiatives in Malaysia:
 
  The health screening process
 
    The health screening process at each location begins with a calculation of the patient's body mass index, followed by an evaluation of their family and personal history to ascertain risk factors.
 
Patients who fall into the high-risk category are tested for common killer diseases such as heart disease, high blood pressure and diabetes, among others. Those suspected to have high blood pressure and diabetes are referred to doctors of their own choice or to government hospitals for further investigations.
 
Additionally, vision tests are conducted and de-worming medications are administered to children and, if deemed necessary, adults.
