I believe in YOLO, which means ‘You Only Live Once’ and hence
I have always live my life to fullest and embrace it positively. As People
always say life is precious, we should certainly treasure every moment and compassionate
toward ourselves. However, what happens if you wake up one day and something
totally unexpected occurred?
This was exactly what happened to 34 year-old Fadzli
Radzuan, a lorry driver. He is married with three beautiful children and is the
sole breadwinner of his family.
His story really touched me hence I’d like to share
with you…
Fadzli woke up one morning, all geared up for work. He
was going about his usual duties, unloading some heavy items from his lorry
when the unexpected happened! He fell and landed on his elbow. Imagine the
excruciating pain!
He fractured his left arm. “What have I done to
myself?” This thought kept recurring in Fadzli’s mind. He was immediately
worried about his ability to work in the days ahead and the consequences it
would have on his family.
Fadzli was rushed to the nearest hospital in Klang
where he was told he needed an immediate operation. The bone in his left arm
had broken in three places and he needed plates to repair the damage. The
doctor diagnosed him with Closed
Comminuted Fracture, Left SupraCondylar Humerus. Ouch! Now, that sounds so
painful!
If that pain was not enough, he was also confronted
with the ‘financial pain’ – the cost of the operation! There was no way he
could afford it. He needed financial help.
It was then that his doctor suggested he apply for the
Khazanah-IHH Healthcare Fund. What a relief it was for Fadzli when his
application was approved. He felt that the Fund was a godsend to help him in
his condition. With the financial support, he was able to proceed with the
operation, which was done with much success.
Within four months of his operation, he was back to
work, feeling better and reenergised. To date, he has recovered well and has
use of his left hand again. However, he has to be careful not to carry heavy
items using that arm. Fadzli is thankful everyday that he is still able to
provide for his family and live a normal life despite the freak accident at
work.

and his beautiful family
My dear readers, you might be wondering
now about the Khazanah-IHH Healthcare Fund and how it came about. Well, the
Fund provides partial and fully sponsored medical treatment to needy patients
in Malaysia, Singapore and Turkey.

The Fund has indeed changed lives for many like
Fadzli. Launched on 3rd July 2012, the Fund is worth RM50 million
and is being disbursed over a span of five years until 2017. It is fully funded
by Khazanah Nasional Berhad via its listed healthcare arm, IHH Healthcare
Berhad (IHH).
70% of the Fund amounting to RM 35 million has been
allocated to help needy patients in Malaysia (the rest being disbursed in
Turkey and Singapore with the same objective to help needy communities there).
Through Pantai and Gleneagles hospitals, the needy can receive treatments in
areas such as Ophthalmology, Cardiology (paediatric and adults), Orthopedic and
General Surgery.
Restoring
Health, Changing Lives! That is what the Fund believes in. It has
reached over 1,000 needy patients in Malaysia and will reach even more this
year.
It is wonderful to know that the Khazanah-IHH Healthcare Fund helps communities in
need, with their specific medical needs and gives them a new lease in life,
just like Fadzli.
This story tugged at my heartstrings and I am sure it
did for you too. After all, YOLO! (You
Only Live Once).

I believe that this is a nice way to help people who's in needs.The story really touches my heart. It's nice seeing people work hard than receiving it from not the sky. With all that said. Money doesn't come from the sky. Blessing does ;)
Its such a relief that he'll be able to provide his family again thank to those who helped him. The story is really overwhelming
Its great to know such fund exists here in Malaysia! Not enough awareness! There's too many families out there that may not be aware of this... But so glad that it has helped him... Imagine if there was no such thing the difficulty the whole family has to endure is heartbreaking! thanks for sharing!
Really good for him and his family... this is one good initiatives to help those who are in need. Not every company will provide insurance and not everyone could afford one as well.
This is a great fund... thanks for highlighting it or many of us would still in the dark....
