L: Whats their name?
N: Teddy Mobile Clinic. Let's call it TMC from now on.

And hereby story begin...



Origin of Teddy Mobile Clinic


We are not an organization. We are just a group of individuals who want to provide our love and care to the less fortunate. In August 2015, our mobile clinic was formed. The vision of our group was to start a free mobile clinic to provide free medical care for the homeless, urban poor and everyone else who cannot afford it.

What do we do?



Most of the homeless and urban poor are ashamed to be seen in public as some of them feel they are not socially accepted by the community. Our intentions are not to change the current healthcare system, but to be the first contact to them, providing at least the basic medical care they need and at the same time providing them the necessary information and knowledge about other resources provided by the community. We also provide full assistance as necessary to obtain those services. Every single one of them deserve our love and care without discrimination based on race, religion, gender, sexual orientation or residency.

ONCE UPON A TIME I ALMOST GIVE UP MBBS... Just few months before my SPM, my dad has asked me to pursue MBBS as degree to pursue his dream. I initially reluctant because at that moment my strongest subject where my interest sit is Chemistry. I wanted to go for Pharmacist. But eventually I agree to give it an attempt. At very early phase, I suffer lots due to adaptions but somehow at late phase results improved. As what my dad's friend who happens to be GP nearby my house said to me, MBBS always tough at First year but it will be smooth once you reached Third Year. Don't give up.
