The objective of this program is to create awareness in the community to change the habit of eating food that is high in salt to a low salt diet to prevent chronic diseases such as hypertension which leads to many complications such as stroke, heart, and renal diseases.

We have a variety of programmes and events throughout the week, as follows:

1. Exhibition of World Salt Awareness posters in 12 Klinik Kesihatans in PKD Kinta and two NGOs (Lion’s Club and Tzu Chi International Charity Organisation)
2. Played educational videos in all 12 Klinik Kesihatan throughout the week of World Salt Awareness week.
