KUALA LUMPUR: AIA Malaysia is offering free health checks to all Malaysians nationwide as part of its ongoing efforts to enable "Healthier, Longer, Better Lives".
Throughout April and May 2022, Malaysians are welcome to walk into any Alpro Pharmacy outlet and claim a basic health screening, free-of-charge.
The screening includes tests for blood cholesterol, blood pressure and blood glucose, as well as Body Mass Index (BMI) calculations.
This initiative is part of the insurer's #LiveWithVitality campaign, which aims to raise awareness of the importance of regular health screenings.
With the rise of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and critical illnesses (CI) in Malaysia, AIA wants to encourage more Malaysians to practise prevention methods and seek an early diagnosis for a better quality of life.
According to AIA Bhd's chief marketing officer, Heng Zee Wang, the goal of the initiative is to make health screenings more accessible to Malaysians from all walks of life for improved public health.
"The #LiveWithVitality campaign is part of AIA's efforts to encourage Malaysians to know their health better. Instead of only seeing the doctor when something is amiss, we want to raise awareness on the importance of periodic health checks in preventing late-stage NCD and CI diagnoses. As Malaysia inches towards becoming an ageing nation, health screenings are vital for early detection and diagnosis, which then leads to better prognosis and recovery," said Heng.
At the same time, AIA customers who are AIA Vitality members will continue to enjoy free basic health checks at participating Guardian Pharmacies nationwide. Members will also get to earn points upon completion to unlock more rewards.
As an added incentive, members who make an appointment and complete this health check before May 31, 2022, will also receive a RM10 voucher.
Find out more about how to get a free health check with AIA today, from now until 31 May.
