Madam Sara Bte Ariffin - Thye Hua Kwan Hospital

By the time Sara was discharged, she could walk with minimum assistance though she has
to continue her rehabilitation at home and at the centre as an outpatient. Whenever she
visits, she makes sure to seek out the nurses as well as the other patients to see how they
have been.
Sara has even started to volunteer at the hospital. “I‟m here every Saturday for half a day,”
she says, “what I do is welcome and talk to the new patients and try to orientate and put
them at ease. I always share my experience with them – how I couldn‟t even walk when I
first arrived and how happy I am now that I can walk again. I hope that when they see how
far I‟ve come, they will be inspired to work hard to get better.”
