Embassy of Japan

The Government of Japan donated USD$11,988 to Family Planning Association Pahang for the purchase of medical equipment. The medical equipment, a portable ultrasound scanner will be used to provide comprehensive and quality reproductive health services to women from lower income group.

The Embassy of Japan and the Family Planning Association Pahang signed and exchanged the grant contract on 13th October 2008, and the above mentioned medical equipment has been purchased under the grant.

The equipment were handed over to the Family Planning Association on 8th June 2009. H.E. Mr. Masahiko Horie, Ambassador of Japan to Malaysia, and Y.Bhg. Dato’ Dr. Yeow Seng Huat, President of the Family Planning Association Pahang, were present at the handing-over ceremony.

With this portable ultrasound scanner, Family Planning Association Pahang will be able to carry out its service at the more rural areas where they could not reach previously.

Since 1989, the Government of Japan has extended about RM10 million to non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and local governments in Malaysia under its Grant Assistance for Grassroots Human Security Projects scheme as a way to contribute to many small but socially important projects at the grassroots level.

* The Family Association Pahang is an NGO, established in 1961, to promote and provide sexual reproductive health services to middle and low income groups in Pahang.
