CBR Network a partner of Malaysian relief Agency (MRA) was approached by Dr Ishak Mas’ud of Specialist Hospital Al Islam for candidates for I.E.S implant, a South Korean technology. Looking for candidates for the I.E.S implant was a challenge, even though it is offered free of charge.
Two candidates were selected for the implant; they were Ruqayyah binti Mohd Ritzuan and Siti Nuraihan binti Mokhtar. They went through a series of test to ensure that they were qualified to receive the implant. The main qualifier however, were their parents’ commitment before, during and therapy after the implant to ensure the success of the whole exercise.
The two candidates were operated by Dr. Jun Woo Kim from South Korea and assisted by Dr. Esa, on the 24th April 2010 at Al Islam Specialist Hospital. New candidates are now being interviewed and assessed for the next implant session. Only 3 suitable candidates will be recommended to have the I.E.S implant.
Special mention of those involved in the programme are: Malaysian Relief Agency, CBR Network Malaysia, Dr. Ishak Mas’ud, Specialist Hospital Al-Islam, Tabung Amanah Pesakit Malaysia, Mr. Eurokys Lee of MST-EZ-System donated 5 units of I.E.S , Dr. Esa Rejab coordinator of the project and Nordiana Ismail a consultant from Prohearing Audiolab System Sdn Bhd. All the parents and the candidates who are receiving the I.E.S. for their commitment.
