Prince Court Medical Centre hosted a Pink Polo event at Kuala Lumpur Polo Club (KLPC) in conjunction with Pink October, aiming to raise awareness and funds for the National Cancer Society of Malaysia (NCSM) and the Breast Cancer Welfare Association Malaysia (BCWA).
The event, attended by breast cancer survivors, advocates, and members of the media, featured an exciting polo exhibition match between the teams aptly named Prince Court and KLPC, with the latter securing a narrow victory with a score of 5-4.
In addition to the match, the event featured insightful health talks by Prince Court’s consultants, Dr. Harjit Kaur Perdamen, Consultant Breast & Endocrine Surgeon, and Dr. Melissa Tan, Consultant Breast & Oncoplastic Surgeon, followed by inspiring sharing sessions by breast cancer survivors.
As an accredited Oncology Centre of Excellence by the Australian Council on Healthcare Standards International (ACHSI), Prince Court played a leading role in raising awareness and funds, with proceeds from the sales of exclusive polo jerseys going towards the cause.
Dr. Shuba Srinivasan, Chief Executive Officer of Prince Court, emphasised the importance of holistic cancer care: “The diagnosis of breast cancer is a life defining moment that changes the lifestyle of patients and their loved ones. Prince Court is here for all breast cancer patients to give emotional, psychological and holistic medical support.
“Our multidisciplinary breast cancer team has some of the best minds in oncology, radiology, surgery, and nursing, all working together to see patients through this journey which does not end with treatment alone as we aim to make a difference to the lives of our patients and their families through exceptional care and compassion.”
Pink Unity, a focus group for breast cancer survivors under NCSM, highlighted the crucial need of support groups. “When we stand together, we not only share hope but also inspire more women to prioritise their health through early detection,” said Mahani Kassim, President of Pink Unity.
KLPC President Johan Indot was proud to host this meaningful event: “We are delighted to resume the Pink Polo tournament at KLPC together with Prince Court Medical Centre. We look forward to building on this relationship for breast cancer awareness.”
