Several states across Malaysia are experiencing severe flooding following continuous monsoon rainfall. In response to the escalating situation, Alpro Pharmacy, the nation’s largest prescription pharmacy chain, is extending support to affected communities.

To ensure that chronic disease patients do not face dangerous interruptions to their treatment, Alpro Pharmacy and Alpro ePharmacy have activated the Life-Saving Medication Care Programme, which provides a one-time supply of up to seven days of chronic medication at no cost to verified flood victims. The initiative is fully subsidised by the Alpro Foundation, in line with its mission of Bringing Hope, Changing Lives.

With many families forced to evacuate without the chance to collect essential belongings, including important medications, Alpro Pharmacy activated the Life-Saving Medication Care Programme to ensure continuity of care. Flood victims who require chronic medication may visit any of Alpro Pharmacy’s 300 outlets nationwide. A police report regarding the flood incident is required for verification.

For individuals who have misplaced or lost their prescriptions, Alpro ePharmacy will provide complimentary online consultation and e-prescription services to facilitate the provision of their medication supply. All medication support under this initiative is funded by the Alpro Foundation.

For more information about the Life-Saving Medication Care Programme or to locate the nearest Alpro Pharmacy, the public may contact Alpro Customer Care at 013-398 2923 or speak directly with a professional pharmacist via the Alpro ePharmacy WhatsApp hotline at 019-702 1923.
