The Kuala Pilah district health office has taken proactive measures to prevent the spread of leprosy by conducting health screenings on residents in Kampung Orang Asli Chergun and Kampung Orang Asli Guntur since August last year.

The Kampung Orang Asli Chergun Village Development and Security Committee chairperson Sisah Jantan, 50, said health officials have provided residents with medication and conducted regular health screenings to monitor the situation.
