“The activities that have been arranged by the organizers during the program are interesting and one of the activities conducted is a free breast examination and ultrasound for the surrounding community who attended the program today.
“Breast cancer, the main cause of death for women who have recorded the highest percentage of 34.1 percent compared to other cancers among women in Malaysia, is a disease that needs attention because the incidence of breast cancer in Malaysia is 34.1 cases per 100,000 female population,” she said.

This system is used in the medical field to facilitate the process of storing and sharing medical images quickly and efficiently. The technology offered increases the level of fast image access by using streaming technology directly in real time. This technology will also improve the cybersecurity of image access as sensitive medical images are not stored in local storage.
Access to medical images can be obtained more quickly and regularly, which can help experts diagnose diseases more efficiently and accurately in accordance with HCTM’s motto, ‘Better, Faster and Friendlier.’ This facility greatly benefits patients and nurses in ensuring the most accurate diagnosis while providing effective, best, and most cost-effective treatment.
