With a generous donation of BND$250,000, Gleneagles JPMC has kickstarted a series of impactful health promotion programmes in partnership with the Brunei Ministry of Health, continuing a six-year tradition of fostering wellness in the community.
On May 15, the MOU signing ceremony at Tarindak D’Polo, Royal Brunei Polo Club in Jerudong was graced by Brunei’s Minister of Health, Yang Berhormat Dato Seri Setia Dr Haji Mohammad Isham Haji Jaafar.
Dr Peter Tay, Chief Executive Officer of Gleneagles JPMC, explains why supporting healthier lifestyles is a cornerstone of its corporate responsibility.
“We believe that healthcare is a fundamental pillar of a thriving society. Our mission extends beyond providing exceptional medical services to our patients; we are also deeply committed to contributing to the overall health and wellness of our nation. Today’s donation is a testament to this commitment,” he said.
