Wan Rizal

Dr Wan Rizal asked the Minister for Health whether the Ministry will consider introducing the Healthier SG initiative upstream by collaborating with the Ministry of Education to introduce and adopt Healthier SG in schools and Institutes of Higher Learning.

Ong Ye Kung

The short answer is yes, the Ministry of Health (MOH), the Ministry of Education (MOE) and the Ministry of Social and Family Development (MSF) will work together to roll out preventive care strategies upstream in preschools and schools, to help our young pick up lifelong good health habits.

There is a growing body of literature, including our local research findings, which showed that how our young eat, sleep and use devices can have a profound impact on the health and development of our children later on in life.

MOH, MOE and MSF will share more details on the programme when ready.
