On the 24th of September, IJN College had the distinct honor of receiving a visit from the esteemed representatives of the Majlis Agama Islam dan Adat Melayu Perak (MAIPk). This visit marked a significant moment in our ongoing partnership, with MAIPk playing a vital role in supporting education for underprivileged communities. Through their generous sponsorship, MAIPk is funding the education of 37 Patient Care Assistant (PCA) students from the asnaf group across Perak.
MAIPk’s Commitment to Empowering Communities
MAIPk’s sponsorship of the PCA program at IJN College is an outstanding initiative aimed at empowering students from disadvantaged backgrounds. The asnaf students selected for this program represent the most vulnerable communities in Perak, and through this initiative, they are being equipped with the skills and knowledge needed to build successful careers in healthcare.
The PCA program is an intensive three-month course designed to train students in the essential skills required to provide high-quality care to patients. Upon completion of the program, these students will be placed in various roles at IJN (National Heart Institute), one of Malaysia’s leading healthcare institutions. This collaboration not only provides educational opportunities but also guarantees career placement, ensuring a brighter future for these individuals and their families.
A Warm Welcome by IJN College Leadership
The MAIPk delegation was warmly welcomed by several key members of the IJN College leadership team, including:
- Prof. Emerita Dr. Durrishah Idrus, Chief Executive of IJN College
- Mr. Muhazzar Mansor, Head of Business Development Division
- Dr. Yusmi, Head of Academics
- Dr. Zainon, Head of Student Development Division
- Mr. Fikri Fauzi, Acting Registrar
These esteemed individuals took the opportunity to highlight the importance of the PCA program, not just as a learning opportunity but as a life-changing initiative that aligns with MAIPk’s mission to uplift the asnaf community.
Tour of IJN College’s State-of-the-Art Facilities
During the visit, Mr. Muhazzar Mansor took the lead in providing the MAIPk delegation with a comprehensive tour of IJN College’s state-of-the-art facilities. These facilities, which include fully-equipped classrooms, modern medical training labs, and advanced patient simulation centers, have been carefully designed to support the rigorous demands of healthcare education.
The MAIPk representatives were given a firsthand look at the various training environments that PCA students experience throughout their program. From patient-care simulations to hands-on training with modern medical equipment, the delegation was impressed with the level of care and attention to detail that IJN College invests in its students.
MAIPk’s Satisfaction and Commitment to Sponsorship
After the tour, the MAIPk delegation expressed their immense satisfaction with the resources and facilities provided by IJN College. Seeing the high level of infrastructure and educational support, MAIPk reaffirmed their commitment to this sponsorship initiative, highlighting how important it is for underprivileged communities to have access to quality education and career opportunities.
The collaboration between IJN College and MAIPk reflects a shared vision of improving healthcare access and outcomes for the broader community. By sponsoring the education of these 37 students, MAIPk is not only changing individual lives but also contributing to the development of Malaysia’s healthcare sector as a whole.
A Bright Future for PCA Students
With MAIPk’s support, these 37 PCA students are set to embark on a fulfilling journey in healthcare, where they will be able to make a significant difference in the lives of patients. As part of the IJN family, they will receive ongoing professional development and mentorship, ensuring that they continue to grow and succeed in their careers.
