NUHS aims to reach 1.14 million residents living in western region of Singapore with the initiative.
SINGAPORE – Over 400,000 people in western Singapore have signed up for easier access to healthcare services, resources and self-assessment tools, taking proactive steps for their health.
“Our health is very important,” said Mr Gan, who is also adviser to Chua Chu Kang GRC. “We want to provide all Singaporeans with a trusted GP or a family doctor, and to foster community support for a healthier lifestyle.” There are 60 community health posts across the 27 constituencies, with the latest one opened on May 7 in Clementi, at Gateway View Residents’ Network. Other locations can be found on the app.
Residents who do not own a smartphone or need help to access the application can approach grassroots organisations for help. She was one of the many residents at the health carnival on May 11, who enjoyed performances and goodies, along with booths set up by community partners involved in the Health Together initiative like Sport Singapore, St Luke’s ElderCare and Fei Yue Active Ageing Centres.
There has been a gradual increase in residents receiving healthcare services, whether it is requesting for information or learning more about taking care of their health, said Mr Jimmy Yeo, who is a part of NUHS’ community care team that serves the Bukit Batok area.
