An event for women and the family

AS September draws near, preparations for Wanita Health and Lifestyle Exhibition (WHL) 2005 intensify in an effort to make the event a bigger success than its predecessor.
While the event drew a crowd of 20,000 last year, with 3,000 people benefiting from the screening services, this year’s affair (from September 23-25) aims to be even bigger and better.
Organised by the Ministry of Women, Family and Community Development Malaysia, WHL 2005 is part of the Nur Sejahtera Women’s Healthcare Programme by the Ministry to encourage women from all walks of life to assume greater responsibility for their own health and that of their family.
“WHL 2005 is an event that allows women of all ages to learn more about their health and discover new ways to uplift their image,” says Fatimah Saad, Director-General of the National Family Planning and Development Board.
Dr Nor Ashikin Mokhtar … ‘WHL 2005 will be bigger and better this year.’
“The focus is on the importance of incorporating simple preventive and positive health behaviours into everyday life. It is about creating healthier futures for women,” says Dr Nor Ashikin Ahmad Mokhtar, Chairman of the WHL 2005 Organising Committee.
Note: Wanita Health and Lifestyle 2005 will be held from September 23-25, 2005, at the brand-new Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre in Kuala Lumpur City Centre
