Building Healthier Communities: Avaland Pledges 10 Units of Vital Signs Monitoring Devices to NKF Malaysia
Subang Jaya – Avaland Berhad further solidified its dedication to community well-being, with the roll-out of a health awareness programme in collaboration with the National Kidney Foundation of Malaysia (NKF) recently.
As part of its programme to elevate its commitment to enhancing community health, Avaland pledged 10 units of vital signs monitoring devices with ECG and Oxygen Saturation (SPO2) monitoring capabilities that will be deployed to all NKF Dialysis Centres in the Klang Valley.
These vital sign monitoring devices will complement the dialysis sessions of patients in the Klang Valley, as it will allow healthcare professionals to identify and address adverse reactions or complications that may arise during the dialysis sessions of patients.
Mr. Apollo Bello Tanco (Pol), CEO of Avaland, reaffirmed Avaland’s dedication to enriching lives and cultivating vibrant communities. At the handover of health monitoring devices event, Pol said, “We are happy to support NKF in enhancing their dialysis centres with our pledge of these 10 units of vital signs monitoring devices to help maintain patients’ overall stability during their dialysis session throughout the Klang Valley.”
In addition to the pledge of the health monitoring devices to NKF, Avaland will collaborate with the non-profit organization’s esteemed Department of Public Education, to provide comprehensive health assessments, encompassing BMI and blood pressure measurements, cholesterol and glucose screenings, and urine tests, which are vital in addressing prevalent kidney-related health concerns.
Private health counselling session are also part of the programme. These community well-being initiatives, featuring health-screening at Avaland’s selected sales galleries, have a twofold purpose – to raise health awareness and to foster a sense of volunteering and pride among internal stakeholders, particularly employees.

Overall, the programme aims to conduct over 2,000 screenings, commencing with the programme’s first health-screening session that took place over the weekend at the Avaland Gallery @ Bangi which features Avaland’s recently unveiled Moroccan-inspired development in the heart of Bangi – Anja Residences & Signature Retail.
In addition to health initiatives, the events will feature engaging activities for children. The enclosed children’s corner is supported by Avaland’s volunteers, to host the children while their parents are being screened, this reflects Avaland’s holistic approach to community engagement.
Commenting on the decision to host a series of health-screenings at selected Avaland’s sales galleries, Pol said, “we believe that health screenings play a crucial role in identifying Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) early on, enabling timely intervention and management. By offering comprehensive health assessments, together with NKF, we aim to empower individuals to take proactive steps towards maintaining their health and well-being, ultimately contributing to healthier and more resilient communities.”
Ms. Khor Xin Yun, CEO of NKF, expressed gratitude for Avaland’s handover of the enhanced monitoring devices to all its dialysis centres in Klang Valley as traditional vital signs monitoring may not provide the depth of insight necessary to identify subtle cardiac abnormalities or fluctuations in oxygen levels during dialysis sessions. “We are also glad to have found a partner to support us in educating communities on combatting kidney-related diseases and to provide open-door community health screenings, at no costs. NCDs such as diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular diseases are often asymptomatic in their initial stages, making regular screenings essential for early detection and prevention.” she said, emphasizing their shared commitment to community health.
Avaland has committed to extending similar health screening initiatives to its other development sites, highlighting its unwavering commitment to community well-being.
