$70 off your annual MediShield Life premiums by taking a brisk 20-minute walk every day. Sounds good?

From today, Singaporeans aged 40 and above can use Healthpoints from the Healthy 365 app to get discounts on MediShield Life premiums. For every 150 Healthpoints, you get $2 off. This is double the usual conversion rate.

Ministry of Health, Singapore is running this pilot initiative as part of our Healthier SG efforts. The objective is to strengthen the reward for staying healthy.

Taking steps to adopt a healthier lifestyle is something that all of us can choose to do. And when we look after our health, we are less likely to need expensive medical treatment later.

🏋️‍♂️ Muscle loss isn’t just part of growing older — there’s a lot you can do to stay strong.

Here are simple habits that help prevent or slow down sarcopenia:

✔ Eat enough protein — eggs, tofu, fish, dairy, chicken
✔ Move more — walking, stair climbing, light exercises
✔ Stay engaged — physically, mentally, and socially

It’s never too early (or too late) to care for your muscles.

If you or someone you care for is starting to feel weaker, come by for a chat with our team.

💬 We’re here to support healthy ageing — one step at a time.

I am happy to update that our recent COVID-19 wave is subsiding.

When the wave started in late April, we saw estimated weekly infections climb to about 26,400 cases. Our healthcare institutions experienced increased patient load, with daily COVID-19 hospitalisations reaching around 174 cases.

The good news is that ICU cases remained consistently low throughout this wave, staying at just about 2 to 3 cases daily. This shows how our healthcare system has built up stronger resilience in managing COVID-19.

Latest data shows encouraging trends: estimated weekly infections have dropped to 15,300 cases, and hospitalisation numbers have decreased to about 118 cases daily. Our wastewater surveillance readings have also declined, supporting this downturn.

This experience reminds us that COVID-19 waves, like seasonal influenza, can still put pressure on our healthcare system. While we have become more resilient in managing these surges, we must continue to fortify our defences and prepare for future waves or any new pandemics.

We will keep monitoring the situation closely, particularly the emergence of new variants, and update the public accordingly.

Sarcopenia is a condition where we gradually lose muscle mass and strength over time. It often starts quietly in our 40s or 50s, especially if we’ve been less active or had recent illness.

It can affect how we move, our balance, and even day-to-day tasks.
