SINGAPORE
- To get the public's views on how to
promote healthy living among the young, an eight-week-long online consultation
was launched on Sunday by the inter-agency NurtureSG taskforce.
The
online exercise is part of the taskforce's overall engagement efforts, which
include face-to-face discussions with parents and other stakeholders.
Chaired
by Minister of State for Health Dr Lam Pin Min and Minister of State for
Education Dr Janil Puthucheary, NurtureSG was announced in March and aims to
improve the health of Singapore's youth.
Areas
which the taskforce will focus on include nutrition, exercise, myopia, mental
resilience and dental health, said Dr Lam.
He was
speaking to reporters at the first face-to-face engagement session at
Anchorvale Community Centre, aimed at parents and caregivers of preschool
children. Some 35 participants attended the closed-door session.
