新加坡卫生部：少数民族群体如何加入健康SG计划

对于文礼佳博士的问题，我们一直保持了支持少数民族群体领导更健康生活方式的努力的动力。我很高兴地分享，在社区领导人和组织的大力支持下，2023年有超过40,000名马来或穆斯林居民和超过32,000名印度居民参健康生活计划，包括体育活动、健康讲座和“健康分享”（Saham Kesihatan）活动，以及在斋月、开斋节和屠妖节期间分发更健康的食品。

随着健康SG计划的推出，在印度社区，我们还与SINDA合作成立了一个健康工作组，该组由私营和公共医疗机构以及其他与健康相关的组织成员组成。健康工作组将加强鼓励印度社区加入健康SG计划，以补充HPB与印度教基金会、锡克福利协会等合作伙伴的现有合作关系。主席先生，请允许我用马来语说几句话。

FA5的一个重点是鼓励马来或穆斯林社区加入健康SG计划。

对于那些仍在考虑是否要加入的人，我想分享一下健康SG计划如何成为你开启保健旅程的第一步。

自2011年以来，Shamima女士一直担任健康大使志愿者，积极宣传健康知识并参与HPB的路演活动。她自己通过HPB的“Lose To Win”活动进行了改变，她成功减掉了约16公斤，因此希望激励他人有更健康的生活方式。她还积极参加了Healthy 365应用程序中提供的各种体育活动，包括尊巴舞、瑜伽、普拉提和搏击等。你可能想知道像Shamima女士这样积极的居民，如何能够从加入健康SG计划中获益？

我想继续鼓励大家像Shamima女士一样，立即加入健康SG计划，积极主动地关注自己的健康。

FA5将继续努力解决马来或穆斯林社区的关键健康问题，如筛查、吸烟和心理健康，正如文礼佳博士所提到的。我们将采取合适的方法让马来或穆斯林社区更有效的成果。

To Dr Wan Rizal's question, we have kept up the momentum of our efforts to support ethnic minority groups to lead healthier lifestyles. I am encouraged to share that with the strong support from community leaders and organisations, over 40,000 Malay/Muslim residents and over 32,000 Indian residents participated in healthy living programmes encompassing physical activities, health talks and Saham Kesihatan programmes, as well as healthier groceries distribution during the festive periods of Ramadan, Hari Raya and Deepavali, in 2023. 

With the rollout of Healthier SG, in the Indian community, we have also partnered SINDA to set up a Health Task Force, comprising members from private and public healthcare institutions and other health-related organisations. The Health Task Force will strengthen efforts to encourage Healthier SG enrolment among the Indian community to supplement HPB's existing collaborations with the Hindu Endowment Board, Sikh Welfare Association, among other partners. Mr Chairman, please allow me to say a few words in Malay.

(In Malay): In our Malay/Muslim community, we have recently introduced a focus area, which is FA5, "A Healthy Community for All". This effort aims to promote healthier lifestyles, and empower individuals and groups to organise and scale up community-led initiatives.

One key emphasis of FA5 is encouraging enrolment in Healthier SG in the Malay/Muslim community.

For those who are still contemplating whether to enrol or not, I would like to share how Healthier SG can be the next step in your preventive care journey.

Madam Shamima has been volunteering as a health ambassador since 2011, actively promoting knowledge about health and participating in HPB roadshows. Her fervent desire to motivate others to adopt a healthier lifestyle stemmed from her own transformation through HPB's Lose To Win programme, where she managed to shed about 16 kilograms. She has also been actively participating in a variety of physical activities available on the Healthy 365 app, including Zumba, yoga, pilates and kickboxing. You may be wondering how would an active resident, like Mdm Shamima, benefit further from enrolling in Healthier SG?

Madam Shamima decided to enrol in Healthier SG, in order to gain a better idea of her health, so that she can make the right decisions for herself. Through her first Health Plan consultation with her family doctor, she is now more aware about her food intake and the importance of taking her medication on time, so that she can better manage her sugar levels. Through the regular follow-up consultations scheduled, her family doctor can provide her with guidance and encouragement to lead a healthier lifestyle.

I would like to continue encouraging everyone to step up to take charge of your health, like Madam Shamima, by enrolling in Healthier SG today.

FA5 will continue efforts to address key health issues in the Malay/Muslim community, such as screening, smoking and mental well-being, as Dr Wan Rizal mentioned. We will adopt a suitable approach for the Malay/Muslim community to achieve a more effective outcome.
