Mr Mokhtar, our Rehabilitative patient
Imagine experiencing frequent blackouts throughout the
day due to poor control of the blood sugar level in the
body. That was what Mr Mokhtar went through with his
diabetic condition. Due to this illness, Mr Mokhtar has
had his leg amputated, lost his eyesight and relies heavily
on insulin administration by his wife to get by every day.
With our care and guidance, Mr Mokhtar and his wife are
taught on proper insulin and hypoglycemia management
by our professionals to prevent him from collapsing.
At SATA CommHealth, our community service initiatives
strive to provide care to improve the lives of the seniors
and vulnerable.
