Universiti Malaya Medical Centre (UMMC / PPUM) has expanded its free health screening and dengue vaccination program for children across the Klang Valley, providing an essential wellness opportunity for Puchong families. With nationwide dengue cases crossing 76,000 this October, healthcare authorities are urging parents to take proactive steps to protect young children from severe mosquito-borne illnesses.

**Key Program Details & Dates**

- **Free Services Offered** : Comprehensive child health screenings and free dengue vaccination initiatives for eligible children.

- **Walk-in Consultation Period** : Weekday walk-ins are available until Friday, 30 October 2026.

- **Location** : Level 5, Women and Children’s Health Complex, Universiti Malaya Medical Centre (UMMC), Petaling Jaya.

- **National Context** : Over 76,000 dengue cases reported nationwide as of mid-October 2026, making preventative immunization and early screening vital for household safety.

Given Puchong’s proximity to UMMC via the LDP and KESAS highways, local parents have convenient direct access to these free pediatric health initiatives. Prioritizing child healthcare and preventative dengue measures helps safeguard our neighborhood homes and schools against seasonal outbreak spikes.

Puchong parents, have you sent your kids for dengue vaccinations or health checks recently, and what preventative steps are you taking around your housing area to keep mosquitoes at bay?
