The DMS MedHealth team attended the 12th Malaysian Primary Care Academy of Medicine (MPCAM) Scientific Meeting, which took place on August 17-18, 2024, in the KSL Esplanade Hotel Grand Ballroom. This event brought together general practitioners from the Klang Valley and beyond, providing a platform for knowledge exchange and networking among healthcare professionals.
DMS MedHealth made a significant impact at the meeting, not only as an exhibitor but also as a sponsor of a seminar. The team proudly showcased their flagship product line, smith-meyerbab, which includes the innovative DermaCare and DentalCare divisions. These products are designed to enhance patient care and improve clinical outcomes, addressing the diverse needs of practitioners in general practice.
A highlight of the event was the seminar sponsored by DMS MedHealth, titled “Whack-A-Mole: Melasma Awareness Series,” presented by Dr. Han Yung Wen. This seminar aimed to educate general practitioners about the rising prevalence of melasma, a common skin condition that disproportionately affects women. Dr. Han provided valuable insights into the multifactorial nature of the condition, discussing various contributing factors such as hormonal changes, sun exposure and certain medication.
One of the key takeaways from the seminar was the complexity of melasma management. Dr. Han emphasized that there is no one-size-fits-all solution to melasma due to its multifaceted causes. Instead, she advocated for a multi-approach strategy in treatment, combining topical therapies, laser, chemical peels, supplements, medication, sun protection, and lifestyle modifications to effectively manage and reduce the impact of this condition on patients.
The 12th MPCAM Scientific Meeting provided an excellent opportunity for the DMS MedHealth team to network with other healthcare professionals. Engaging with general practitioners from various backgrounds and regions allowed the team to gather feedback on their products and services. This interaction is invaluable for DMS MedHealth as they strive to continuously improve their offerings and address the needs of practitioners in the field.
The event also facilitated discussions about potential collaborations and partnerships. By connecting with other exhibitors and sponsors, DMS MedHealth can explore new avenues for research and development, enhancing their product lines and expanding their reach in the healthcare market.
