www.amaxmall.com BACKGROUNDER FOR LUNG FOUNDATION MALAYSIALUNG FOUNDATION OF MALAYSIA: RAISING FUNDS TO BENEFIT PATIENTS WITH LUNG DISEASES Since its inception in 2006, the Lung Foundation of Malaysia (LFM) has fulfilled a very important role in widening the understanding of lung diseases. Equally important has been the raising of funds to buy vital equipment, where LFM has depended on the generosity of the corporate world and of individual benefactors.
Established by a group of medical professionals and corporate citizens, LFM has been an advocate of improving the standard of care and treatment of patients with lung diseases. Many patients with chronic lung diseases cannot afford the equipment needed to aid their recovery at home, and LFM has over the years worked to ensure they have access to the needed equipment.
Chronic lung diseases such as Bronchopulmonary dysplasia in children, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in adults and asthma in both children and adults are among lung diseases that commonly inflict people and lead to prolonged suffering and disability. Care for these patients can also be difficult and expensive especially if it involves the usage of life support devices.
LFM’s fundraising efforts to purchase equipment for lung patients were boosted with a sum of RM100,000 from amaxMALL, which donated the amount on 13
th August 2020. LFM will thus be able to buy more equipment such as oxygen cylinders, oxygen concentrators and home portable ventilators (CPAP & BIPAP).
The generous donation was handed over to LFM by Asiaspace Sdn Bhd, the owners of amaxMALL, at a simple ceremony on 13
th August at the amaxMALL pop-up store in Taman Tun Dr Ismail, Kuala Lumpur.

· Receives and administers funds for education, research and charitable purposes in relation to respiratory diseases for the public’s welfare
