MPDA would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to the organisers of the Brain Health Day Event at Hospital Canselor Tuanku Muhriz (HCTM), UKM for inviting our members to participate in this meaningful and educational event.

The atmosphere came alive with an energetic and joyful interactive session led by John J. Hagedorn through his engaging drum circle. Adding to the excitement, KC Yeoh, facilitator of MPDA’s Social Dance Practice classes, coordinated a lively Conga dance to Boney M’s “Bahama Mama”, accompanied by the vibrant drum circle beats in the background.

It was wonderful to see doctors, healthcare professionals, nurses, patients, caregivers, and members of the public joining in the fun and moving together in the spirit of wellness and community.

The event also featured a series of informative talks by medical specialists on various brain-related conditions including epilepsy, stroke, motor neuron disease (MND), multiple sclerosis, and dementia, helping to raise awareness on the importance of brain health.
