Avaland continues to enhance community well-being and solidify its environmental stewardship programme at Lakefront in Cyberjaya, Malaysia.
Partnering with the National Kidney Foundation of Malaysia (NKF), the developer continued its complimentary health screenings at Avaland Show Village @ Lakefront, Cyberjaya recently. Highlighting proactive community health initiatives, these screenings include BMI measurements, blood pressure, cholesterol, glucose tests, and urine analysis, crucial for early detection of Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs).
Private health counselling sessions by NKF’s esteemed Department of Public Education were also provided to empower residents with knowledge on kidney-related health concerns for effective intervention and management.
Khor Xin Yun, CEO of NKF, stressed the significance of their ongoing partnership with Avaland in community health education and free health screenings. “We are pleased to collaborate with Avaland to continually raise awareness about kidney-related diseases and offer accessible health screenings to communities. Regular screenings for Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) like diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular diseases are crucial for detecting their often-asymptomatic early stages, essential for prevention and timely intervention,” she emphasised, highlighting their joint commitment to advancing community health.
Avaland’s community health programme aims to conduct over 2,000 health screenings, starting with the first session held at Avaland Gallery @ Bangi in May 2024. In their commitment to improving community health, Avaland had also pledged vital signs monitoring devices with ECG and Oxygen Saturation (SPO2) capabilities to all NKF Dialysis Centres in the Klang Valley earlier this year. These devices will aid healthcare professionals in monitoring patients during dialysis, ensuring prompt detection and management of any complications that may arise.
Alongside the health screening programme, Avaland completed a significant tree planting initiative over the past weeks at Lakefront, as part of its ongoing commitment to environmental enhancement. Over 200 trees were planted at Lakefront’s Central Park as part of the Avaland Project Green Plan, which prioritises native species. This effort aims not only to boost the area’s aesthetics but also to improve air quality, promoting a healthier environment for residents.
At the tree-planting finale event held last week, Apollo Bello Tanco (Pol), CEO of Avaland, emphasised the dual impact of these efforts on community health and environmental sustainability. “At Avaland, we understand the vital link between healthy communities and a vibrant environment. Our initiatives in health screenings and tree planting not only promote long-term well-being but also create a social green space where residents can gather, fostering a happier, healthier and more connected community,” stated Pol.
Avaland was recently recognised at The Edge Best Managed & Sustainable Property Awards (BMSPA) 2024, clinching the ‘Below 10 Years category for Sustainable Housing – Gold’ title and earning “The Editor’s Choice Award for Malaysia’s Outstanding Affordable Homes 2024”. These accolades underscore Avaland’s dedication to enhancing community life through its stewardship of the Lakefront Homes @ Cyberjaya project, reaffirming its position as a leader in sustainable property management and enriching the quality of life for residents at Lakefront.
Avaland looks forward to expanding similar community health and environmental initiatives across its developments in the coming months, furthering its mission to enhance lives and create places where people can enjoy a comprehensive lifestyle experience.
