Universiti Malaysia Sabah and Social Security Organisation collaborate in rehabilitation medicine

 

KOTA KINABALU: Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS) and Social Security Organisation (Socso) on Thursday signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to pave the way for various collaborations in the field of rehabilitation medicine.

Its Deputy Vice-Chancellor for Student and Alumni Affairs, Associate Prof Dr Raman Noordin, said the MoU spearheaded the strategic collaboration between the university and Socso in teaching and research under medical rehabilitation for those insured under Socso.

Raman, who is carrying out the duties of the UMS Vice-Chancellor, said this collaboration will also provide benefits and interest not only to the two institutions but also to those insured, who are Sabahans themselves.

“Through this MoU, UMS will work directly with the Socso Tun Abdul Razak Rehabilitation Centre which practices rehabilitation principles that integrate medical and vocational rehabilitation treatment to restore maximum ability.

“This will enable them (those insured) to return to work or society,” he said when speaking at the MoU signing ceremony at the UMS campus, here.

The MoU was signed by Raman and Socso Chief Executive Datuk Seri Dr Mohammed Azman Aziz Mohammed.

Meanwhile, Mohammed Azman said the collaboration will give new light to Socso contributors who experience accidents or illnesses, especially in Sabah, through a comprehensive and dynamic rehabilitation and disability management programme.

He said the effort was carried out through rehabilitation treatment and the Return To Work (RTW) programme where participants who are disabled due to accidents will be assisted until they are able to become independent, then return to work and generate income for themselves and their families.

“Since the RTW programme was introduced in 2007 a total of 49,851 RTW participants have been successfully assisted to return to work. We are confident that this collaboration with UMS will be able to help more contributors to become independent and return to productivity,” he added.

He said Socso also intends to develop a MYFutureJobs Satellite Centre at the UMS campus for UMS undergraduates and graduates to benefit from the agency’s various employment services such as career counselling, job search and matching as well as individual support for job placement, including preparations for interview.
