Takaful Ikhlas Channels Rm109,400 To Improve Community Health, Well-being

KUANTAN, Feb 27 (Bernama) -- Takaful Ikhlas General Berhad and Takaful Ikhlas Family Berhad (Takaful IKHLAS), wholly owned subsidiaries of MNRB Holdings Berhad, through its Syariah-compliant fundraising platform, IKHLAS Barakah House, have channelled funds of RM109,400 to Kumpulan Ikram Health Terengganu Sdn Bhd.

The donation aims to improve the health and well-being of the community in this district and is one of the value-based intermediation (VBI) initiatives from Takaful IKHLAS, which aims to benefit the surrounding community.

Takaful Ikhlas General Berhad president and chief executive officer, Datuk Rudy Rodzila Che Lamin, said that most of the funds were for home health treatment for 45 underprivileged patients.

“With this contribution from Takaful IKHLAS, the Afwa Clinic, under Kumpulan Ikram Health Terengganu Sdn Bhd, is able to carry out health checks and provide the necessary treatment to patients.

“They no longer need to worry, because they can get direct access to rehabilitation treatment through this programme. Overall, this programme can, to some extent, help improve the level of health and well-being of the community around Kuantan,” he said in a statement.

Takaful IKHLAS vice-president (Syariah and Business Advisory) and IKHLAS Barakah House (IBH) chairman Wan Jemizan W. Deraman, presented the donation to Kumpulan Ikram Health Terengganu Sdn Bhd director Dr Ahmed Kamarulzaman, in Taman Impianku, recently.

Apart from that, the funds are also allocated for a health awareness campaign for the surrounding community, and a mass circumcision programme organised by the Masjid Taman Impianku, in conjunction with the school holidays.

Meanwhile, Rudy Rodzila also expressed his appreciation to Takaful IKHLAS participants, because through participating in the IKHLAS Takaful protection plan, they have indirectly contributed to the implementation of the community empowerment programmes, in line with the takaful principle of helping each other.

IKHLAS Barakah House is a Syariah-compliant fundraising initiative, established by Takaful IKHLAS, to provide community assistance which focuses on five areas, namely education, economy, community, health and environment.
