BUMICA or known as Budi Outreach Mission to Cambodia is one of the humanitarian mission organised by IIUM Kuantan Campus from the 20th March until 26th March 2017. This is our 1st social mission outside of Malaysia
This community engagement project is a
collaboration between several popular healthcare institutions in Malaysia and Eartistic is one of the privileged once. There were 77 students and staff volunteers involved
in this mission.
Eartistic Hearing and Balance Centre were involved by loaning
our audio logical equipment and donated a collective of RM 64 000 worth of
Hearing Aids to this mission. On behalf of the company, Fatihah Othman our
Nurse from Eartistic TTDI represented us to complete the mission by providing
ear toilet and hearing screening to the children.
On the first day, we arrived at Kampung Ou Ta Nes to set up
the place for hearing screening. But the mission properly began, the second
day. The drill were history taking, otoscopic examination, middle ear test,
pure tone audiometry assessment and ear toilet procedures were carried out
throughout the programme. Hearing aid fitting was done to those with hearing
loss and we were delighted to see many happy tears from our give aways, MashaALLAH.
On the third day, we continued our mission to Kampung
Chnnang.

Alhamdulillah, we finished our mission with satisfaction and
amazing results with almost 100 people in two villages participated in the
hearing screening. At least 5 people ( 9 units of hearing aids) received from our donation of hearing aids.
With that,
we would like to thank IIUM for this opportunity and we hope that we can
participate in more humanitarian events in future. May this be just the
beginning of many beautiful missions to help the people who are in need of
hearing and communication attention across the world.
