As the year comes to a close, many of us are slowing down by spending time with family, reconnecting with loved ones, and taking a well-deserved break from busy routines.

But health concerns don’t always take a holiday. Whether it’s a child feeling unwell, a lingering cough, or a question that brings a bit of uncertainty, having access to medical advice can offer reassurance when it’s needed most.

Telemedicine allows you to consult a Singapore-registered doctor from home, helping you focus on what matters without unnecessary travel or waiting. It’s one more way healthcare can be supportive, calm, and accessible during the festive season.

This jolly Christmas, we wish you good health, peace of mind, and meaningful moments with those you care about.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your loved ones from all of us at DCMed!

Balancing work commitments with personal health isn’t always easy.

Telemedicine provides working adults in Singapore with access to medical advice without significant disruption to their day. A virtual consultation can help assess symptoms and advise on appropriate next steps, including whether in-person care is required.

For organisations, telemedicine can be part of a broader approach to supporting employee well-being. For example, at DCMed, we act as a Designated Workplace Doctor (DWD), providing treatment for corporate clients at your premises and valuable advice on work-related injuries and illnesses.

Recent data from the Ministry of Health shows that nearly 11.6% of adults aged 18–74 in Singapore were obese in 2022 - double the rate from 3 decades ago.

Experts emphasise that obesity isn’t a matter of willpower - it is a complex, chronic disease influenced by genetics, metabolism, environment, and lifestyle.

At DCMed, we believe managing obesity should be holistic, personalised, and accessible. Here’s how we help:

✅ Remote consultations with specialists
✅ Empathetic, stigma-free care
✅ Tailored health plans and monitoring

📲 Ready to take the next step? Book a consultation today and let us help you start a tailored health plan designed for real, lasting progress.

Obesity is associated with more than 230 medical conditions, including heart disease, stroke, Type 2 diabetes and fatty liver, according to doctors.
