Healthier SG programme
Healthier SG: Over 24,000 people pre-enroll
Singapore : Health Minister Ong Ye Kung announced on Tuesday (May 30) that over 24,000 individuals have already pre-enrolled for the Healthier SG programme through their primary care physicians. This figure surpasses expectations and indicates a positive outlook for the official launch of the programme in July, according to the minister.
Health Minister Ong Ye Kung has opened Fullerton Health’s new health screening centre in Novena, which is part of the government’s efforts to promote preventive care.
The centre, which is located at Novena Square Tower B, offers a comprehensive range of health screening services, including blood tests, imaging tests, and consultations with doctors. It is also equipped with state-of-the-art facilities, such as a digital X-ray machine and a CT scanner.
Mr Ong said that the opening of the centre is a “significant milestone” in the government’s efforts to promote preventive care. He added that health screening is an important tool for early detection of diseases, which can help to improve the chances of successful treatment.
A bright future for Singapore’s healthcare system
He also spoke about the government’s Healthier SG initiative, which was launched in 2022. Healthier SG aims to have Singaporeans and permanent residents take charge of their own healthcare by enrolling with a single doctor who will support them in their health needs throughout their lives.
Mr Ong said that the new health screening centre will play a key role in the implementation of Healthier SG. He added that the centre will provide Singaporeans with the opportunity to access preventive care services in a convenient and accessible setting.
The opening of the new health screening centre is a positive development for Singaporeans. It is a sign that the government is committed to promoting preventive care and helping Singaporeans to live healthier lives.
