14 hrs · Singapore ·Even as we cope with the pandemic, we must not neglect our long term healthcare needs and goals.
Tan Tock Seng Hospital (TTSH)’s Ang Mo Kio Specialist Centre (AMKSC) officially opened this morning. This is part of the steady improvement of our healthcare system over many years. The AMKSC brings specialist healthcare facilities and services right to the doorsteps of residents, and offers them a more seamless healthcare experience.
Recently, Ministry of Health, Singapore shared some worrying figures on the health of Singaporeans. More of us are getting high blood pressure, high cholesterol and obesity. Unless we reverse these worrying trends, even the most expensive and advanced medical care in the world will not keep us healthy and well, especially as we age.
Good health also depends on preventive care and keeping fit. The AMKSC has formed Community Health Teams, who work closely with other agencies and community partners to identify and address health needs of residents and get them to stay healthy.
We must all do our part by going for regular health screenings and practising healthy living. This will help the healthcare system to deliver sustainable and good healthcare for Singaporeans. – LHL
