Movements for Health
Movements For Health is a call for you to join us in different ways to engage people and communities in the health conversation.
Success is when people become:
Active agents who are aware of the need to take ownership for their health;
Champions who adopt personal lifestyle changes that promote health and;
Advocates who enroll and influence others to join them in movements for health.
Some of the Good Life Designers are powered by the Movements For Health (M4H) Fund.
DID YOU KNOW?
Singapore’s spending on healthcare has tripled to $11.3 billion in 2019, from $3.7 billion in 2010?
In response, Singapore has embarked on various strategic initiatives to move Beyond Healthcare to Health and most recently, Healthier SG.
The Ministry of Health Transformation Office launched Movements For Health to support community partners in initiating social movements that will activate communities to adopt and advocate healthier lifestyles to improve their health outcomes.
A new approach to health requires new ways of thinking, and asking questions:
What does it mean for health to be a social phenomenon?
What does it mean for a person/community to own their health?
How do we empower people to become Active Agents, Champions and Advocates for Health?
