Seminar and Press Conference at The Mines Beach Resort. The seminar brought together experts from medical and related fields from Malaysia and abroad to present discussions on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs) and its related issues, all of which affect people’s health.

Recognizing the pertinence of the EMFs’ issue on both health and productivity, MAAFIM took the lead in organizing the "Updates for Doctors: Scientific Talk on Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs) – Does It Affect Our Public Health and Work Productivity?" Seminar and Press Conference.
