Medicines are prescribed based on an individual’s specific health condition. Sharing them can lead to unwanted effects or even serious harm.

As a tertiary care teaching hospital, we aim to raise awareness on the health risks and legal consequences associated with using someone else’s prescription, while promoting the message that safe medication use begins with proper medical advice.

In the spirit of Ummatic Excellence that serves as a guiding principle for harnessing a unified, high-achieving Muslim community, Sultan Ahmad Shah Medical Centre (SASMEC ) continues to advocate the holistic development of a Muslim which begins in the small corner of childhood, ensuring that every child is nurtured with compassion, protected with dignity and empowered with opportunities that allow them to flourish as confident contributors to the Ummah.

"And lower to them the wing of humility out of mercy and say, “My Lord, have mercy upon them as they brought me up (when I was) small.”" (Qur'an 17:24).

This verse highlights the reciprocal nature of mercy and the importance of showing love and compassion to our children, just as our parents showed to us. Simple acts of kindness, listening to their concerns and spending quality time with them can go a long way in building a strong, trust-based relationship.

As Malaysians, who doesn’t love a good cup of teh tarik? Have you ever wondered how many spoonfuls of sweetened condensed milk go into a single glass?

While it adds that irresistible taste, sweetened condensed milk can be harmful to your health. It is high in sugar, fat, and calories; a combination that increases the risk of diabetes and obesity.

Moderation in sugar intake is essential to reduce the risk of non-communicable diseases (NCDs). You can still enjoy your favourite teh tarik or other sweet beverages, just remember, moderation is key to maintaining a healthier lifestyle.
