This significant initiative is part of the Foundation’s ‘Sincerely, Setia Healthcare & Well-Being Assistance’ Programme, which is dedicated to enhancing the health and well-being of individuals and communities across Malaysia.
“We care about the well-being of the underserved communities. We believe that our ‘Sincerely, Setia Healthcare & Well-Being Assistance’ Programme can provide vital support to these communities. Regardless of how big or small, every contribution can make a positive difference in the lives of those in need,” added Adelene Wong, Management Committee of S P Setia Foundation and S P Setia’s Head of Group Branding & Communications.
