Vaccine hesitancy has been a barrier in the eradication of vaccine preventable disease. Studies have shown that healthcare providers find the experience with vaccine hesitancy challenging, leaving them feeling conflicted and causing therapeutic roadblocks in providing care for the patients. Knowledge and training are important predictors affecting healthcare providers\u2019 attitude towards vaccination. Hence, the main objective of organising this workshop is to empower healthcare workers in vaccine communication and to explore healthcare workers attitude towards vaccine hesitancy counselling.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nWe have invited few speakers to deliver the lecture for the workshop, such as Dr Sakinah Sulong, Dr Suhazeli Abdullah, Dr Amirul Amzar, A\/P Dr Haireen and Prof Sajar Othman.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nThe event ends successfully, and we hope to organise it in the near future via virtual or face to face in order to engage and empower more health care providers in vaccination communication.[\/vc_column_text][vc_gallery images=\"4181,4182,4183,4184,4185\" type=\"image_grid\"][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/article>\r\n\t\r\n\t\t<article class=\"tm-post-box tm-box col-lg-4 col-sm-6 col-md-4 col-xs-12 thememount-blogbox-format-standard news\">\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"post-item\">\r\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"post-item-thumbnail\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"post-item-thumbnail-inner\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"thememount-blog-media entry-thumbnail\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"390\" src=\"https:\/\/tomalique.com\/primarycaremedicine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/a02-720x390.png\" class=\"attachment-blog-three-column size-blog-three-column wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tomalique.com\/primarycaremedicine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/a02-720x390.png 720w, https:\/\/tomalique.com\/primarycaremedicine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/a02-780x423.png 780w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/tomalique.com\/primarycaremedicine\/2026\/09\/20\/may-measurement-month-celebration-in-conjunction-with-world-hypertension-day-university-malaya-medical-centre\/\"><span class=\"overthumb\"><i class=\"tm-social-icon-plus\"><\/i><\/span><\/a><\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/tomalique.com\/primarycaremedicine\/2026\/09\/20\/may-measurement-month-celebration-in-conjunction-with-world-hypertension-day-university-malaya-medical-centre\/\"><span class=\"overthumb\"><i class=\"tm-social-icon-plus\"><\/i><\/span><\/a>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"tm-item-content\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/tomalique.com\/primarycaremedicine\/2026\/09\/20\/may-measurement-month-celebration-in-conjunction-with-world-hypertension-day-university-malaya-medical-centre\/\">May Measurement Month&#8221; Celebration in Conjunction with World Hypertension Day, University Malaya Medical Centre<\/a><\/h4>\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"tm-blogbox-footer-meta\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"tm-blogbox-date\"><i class=\"demo-icon tm-social-icon-calendar\"><\/i> September 20, 2026<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"tm-blogbox-comment\"><i class=\"demo-icon tm-social-icon-comment-1\"><\/i> <\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"thememount-blogbox-desc\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<strong>Date: 25th July 2023<\/strong><br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nWe are thrilled to announce the successful culmination of the \"May Measurement Month\" Celebration at the Plaza Pusat Perubatan University Malaya, which was graciously officiated by the Director of University Malaya Medical Centre, Prof Dr Nazirah Binti Hassan.
