Koperasi Wawasan
Pekerja-Pekerja Berhad (KOWAJA), a credit cooperative owned by its members,
donated RM30,000 to UTAR Hospital as part of their corporate social
responsibility programme.
A mock cheque was
presented by General Manager of KOWAJA Dr Tan Boon In to UTAR President Ir
Prof Dr Ewe Hong Tat on 2 April 2021 at Sungai Long Campus.
Dr Tan, who is also
a UTAR alumnus, said that the hospital will benefit society as it runs as a
not-for-profit hospital and self-sustaining to provide affordable and
quality medical services to the community.
He encouraged more
alumni to step forward to make contributions to their university—no matter
the amount. “Even a small amount makes a difference,” he said.
He added, “All
alumni should donate back to their university. Recall the good moments back
in the university. UTAR has cultivated many talents. What we have achieved
now and what we have gained now is also the support that UTAR has given us.
We should help our alma mater if we are capable.”
Located in the
Kampar Campus, UTAR Hospital is rapidly taking shape. The hospital, which is
expected to be fully operational in 2022, offers more than just medical and
health services. It will also provide clinical training for the Faculty of
Medicine and Health Sciences (FMHS) Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of
Surgery (MBBS) programme, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Health
Science students.
