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.
