Outreach at Penjuru RC: Health screening and raising awareness on chronic diseases

On 26 March, we organised an outreach at Penjuru Recreation Centre in collaboration with HealthServe. We provided health screening and conducted fun, educational activities.

One of the activities educated migrant brothers on the Healthier Choice symbol. We shared this quiz with them on Facebook and asked them to comment their answers.

We also raised awareness on chronic disease prevention through a puzzle game. Our team prepared two different puzzles on healthy eating habits and healthy lifestyle habits. As the brothers were completing the puzzle, volunteers shared with them some common chronic illnesses, such as diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol, and the various habits they can adopt to reduce the risk of getting them.
