Johor health and unity committee chairman Ling Tian Soon said presently only 8.9% of those eligible for the scheme have gone through the health screening.
“The low number is quite concerning as the government has had the Peka B40 scheme for two years now,” added the Yong Peng assemblyman when met after a working visit to Tongkang Pechah in Batu Pahat, Johor. He added that the free health screening was carried out at government clinics and appointed privately run clinics all over the state.

Medical officers will take blood and urine samples for lab tests to check whether the person is healthy or at risk of having NCD,” he said.“If a person is found to have NCD, they will get a referral letter to go to a government hospital for further check-up.
