Talks & Community Education

I occasionally speak at community health sessions and educational events to help the public better understand rheumatology, bone health, joint pain, autoimmune conditions and long-term prevention.

These sessions are for general education and are not a substitute for personal medical consultation.

Organised by Tzu Chi KL Selangor English Group Monthly Gathering

Osteoporosis is often called a silent disease because bone loss can happen without symptoms until a fracture occurs. I will share how osteoporosis develops, who may be at risk, how screening works, and practical steps that may help reduce fracture risk and preserve mobility.
