MEAD Johnson Nutrition concluded its "Healthier Malaysians, Stronger Malaysia" campaign with the recognition of six local heroes at a virtual event.
Nominations came from across Malaysia from members of the public. The campaign was launched under Mead Johnson Nutrition's new adult nutrition brand – Provital Immuna Plus in an initiative to help support the immune health of local heroes who are doing extraordinary things to make a difference in their communities.
The local heroes who have been identified are Kuan Chee Heng or fondly known as Uncle Kentang, Adrian Pereira, Esther Chit, Aunty Jenny, Har Yin Geong, and Siamy Tan.
"We are inspired by the amazing efforts of these local heroes who have selflessly contributed to society. We would like to value them by supporting their health so they have stronger and healthier bodies to continue their mission in helping their communities," says Mead Johnson Nutrition Malaysia, Singapore and Vietnam general manager, Gonzalo Balcazar.
The company will also be collaborating with Yayasan Food Bank Malaysia to contribute 1,000 packs of Provital Immuna Plus to support the immune health of families in need.
