Health

The pandemic has shown that community health is a shared responsibility. As we embrace the future, we will also need to strengthen our involvement to support the community. Your support can bring comfort and resilience to those who need it most.

By 2030, it is expected that

1 in 4 Singaporeans will be seniors aged 65 and above​

Ageing Population

With ageing comes a greater likelihood of illness and disability, and an increased need for healthcare services.

We will need to focus on our efforts to keep individuals in our community healthy by driving preventive health and early interventions.

Frontline Workers

During the pandemic, we witnessed firsthand the extensive efforts that out frontliners have done to ensure the safety and wellbeing of all Singaporeans.

We will need to expand the community role to volunteer and ease the workload of frontline workers through community health services.

Preventive care

A proactive approach to provide preventive care and health education can help in early detection and management of health issues, ultimately reducing the burden on the healthcare system.
