IJN Offers Media Practitioners 15 Pct Discount On Heart Screening Package

BUTTERWORTH, June 22 (Bernama) -- The National Heart Institute (IJN) is offering an exclusive 15 per cent discount on its Essential Heart Screening Package to media practitioners in conjunction with National Journalists' Day (HAWANA) 2026.

IJN Marketing Department head Farah Delah Suhaimi said the offer was aimed at recognising the commitment of media personnel, who often work under demanding schedules while needing to prioritise their heart health.

She said the package includes an electrocardiogram (ECG), echocardiogram (ECHO) and a consultation session with a cardiologist.

“Bookings and payments can be made within the next three months at the HAWANA booth or through the IJN website, while screening appointments can be scheduled flexibly until the end of this year,” she told Bernama here recently.

Meanwhile, Malaysian Media Council board member Adie Suri Zulkefli, 46, said cost and time constraints often prevent media practitioners from undergoing regular health screenings, and welcomed the IJN initiative.

“With a discount of this size and the flexibility to book now and undergo screening later, it provides a strong incentive for media practitioners to have their hearts checked before it is too late,” he said.
