CYBERJAYA: The Health Ministry is committed to helping people with cerebral palsy (CP), says Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin.
He said that an example of a challenge faced by children with CP is that they can be misunderstood as being slow or intellectually challenged, when in fact cognitive impairment occurs in only a third of CP cases.
Khairy's speech was read by Medical Development Division Deputy Director Dr Hirman Ismail in conjunction with the World Cerebral Palsy Day 2022 organised by Gabungan Anak-Anak Palsi Serebrum . Meanwhile more than 500 guests gathered at the GAPS World CP Day celebration, which saw children with CP participating in a fashion show dressed as their favourite characters.
