PETROS CONTRIBUTES RM300,000 TO SARAWAK HEART FOUNDATION

Date: 1 December 2023

Petroleum Sarawak Berhad (PETROS) contributed RM300,000 to the Sarawak Heart Foundation, in support of the non-profit organisation’s efforts to raise funds for a new Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Machine for the Sibu Hospital.

The initiative solidifies PETROS’ principles of giving back to the community and the healthcare sector in Sarawak, as the corporation continues to grow its participation throughout the oil and gas value chain.

PETROS Chairman, Tan Sri Datuk Amar (Dr) Hamid Bugo presented a mock cheque to Sarawak’s Deputy Premier and Minister for Public Health, Housing and Local Government, Datuk Amar Professor Dr. Sim Kui Hian, who is also the Deputy Chairman of the Sarawak Heart Foundation, at a recent handover ceremony. He was accompanied by PETROS Group Chief Executive Officer, Dato Janin Girie and PETROS Vice President for Human Capital and Relations, Ismail Said.

The Sarawak Heart Foundation is a non-profit organisation that promotes a heart-healthy community in Sarawak. Among the functions of the charity are providing financial assistance to heart patients who require medical treatment and purchasing or donating medical equipment for the use of cardiac patients in public hospitals. They also provide grants and contributions to hospitals, educational institutions, and medical professionals for heart-related research, besides educating the Sarawak community about identifying, preventing, and treating heart ailments.
