Mdm Quah Phaik Kim , a widow with a 9 year old daughter was told about Mount Miriam Hospital by friends and neighbours. After loosing her husband to liver cancer about more than a year ago, Mdm Quah’s world came to a stand still when she was also diagnosed with liver cancer in 2006. She was at the brink of giving up hope as she had spent her family’s life savings to treat her late husband. Through her friends’ advice, Mdm Quah came to Mount Miriam for a consultation. Mdm Quah was required to go through 20 times of radiotherapy treatment and 7 cycles of chemotherapy. As a single mum, her neighbour came to her assistance by caring for her daughter, while she went through her treatment. Mount Miriam helped to ease her medical expenses by offering 100% waiver on her treatment which amounts to more than RM10 thousand.
Miss Mangaikarasi a/p Muniandy is a 19 year old student from Langkawi who suffered pain in her legs initially. After many check ups, she was diagnosed with a tumour near her spinal cord. As Langkawi does not offer any treatment for cancer, her family sought for advice at Mount Miriam Hospital. Ms Mangaikarasi underwent 30 times radiotherapy and 3 cycles of chemotherapy. After a check on Ms Mangaikarasi’s background, Mount Miriam absorbed her medical expenses by 44 percent from a total of more than RM70 thousand. Appreciative of how Mount Miriam Hospital assisted the family, Ms Mangaikarasi’s brother, who works for Kamdar Langkawi, assisted to arrange for a donation of 100 pieces of bed sheets and 100 pieces of pillow cases by Kamdar Langkawi.
There are various funds set up by the hospital; they are: Needy Patients Fund Was set up with the main aim to provide medical subsidy to deserving and needy patients.
