What is the healthier SG Strategy
What is Healthier SG? Healthier SG is a national initiative by the Ministry of Health (MOH) focusing on preventive health. Singaporeans can take proactive steps to manage their health, prevent the onset of chronic diseases and have strong support to lead healthier lifestyles.
Why should I enrol in Healthier SG?
As people get older, they are more likely to fall sick and suffer disabilities.
The prevalence of chronic diseases increases as you age, and that causes significant health, emotional, financial burden on individuals & families.
But healthy habits and preventive care can help older people to stay active and maintain a good quality of life. For those with diabetes, high blood pressure and high blood cholesterol levels, managing these well will reduce the risks of developing serious health problems like kidney failure and stroke.
Enrolling in Healthier SG offers you:
- Support to keep healthy and prevent diseases, from a family doctor who has a trusted relationship with you.
- Enhanced subsidies for preventive health.
- Personalised Health Plan with goals, advice and treatment.
