I met Mr. Krishnamurthy and his family during house visit. He and his family were celebrating Ganesh Chaturthi.
This Hindu festival honors the birth of Lord Ganesha, the elephant God who is believed to remove obstacles and is honored first in Hindu rituals.
Wishing a blessed Ganesh Chaturthi to all who celebrate.

Cut down on ultra-processed foods – they tend to be high in sodium, sugar and saturated fats.

MOH is watching….

I was at the Singapore Children's Society’s Society annual Walk for Our Children event over the weekend. The theme was mental wellness. I was asked to contribute a message on the wall and this came to mind.

There will a change of leadership at the Health Sciences Authority (HSA).
Dr Mimi Choong, the current CEO, will be retiring from public service on 13 December.
She has done a lot for HSA and the Singapore healthcare system in her 10 years as CEO.
Mimi has built up HSA's regulatory and scientific capabilities and raised its international standing. This includes making HSA the first regulator in the world to be accorded the WHO’s Maturity Level 4 status in 2022. Today, many international regulators in developed economies use HSA as a reference and benchmark.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Mimi swiftly implemented robust regulatory measures for COVID-19 vaccines, diagnostic tests and treatments, facilitating early access to safe, high-quality health products.
I thank Mimi for all her contributions, and congratulate her on a well-deserved retirement.
I would like to welcome Adj A/Prof Raymond Chua, who will be appointed as Chief Executive Officer-Designate of HSA from today. He will officially take over as CEO from 13 December 2024.
Raymond is currently the Deputy Director-General of Health (Health Regulation) at MOH, and will continue in this role, to better synergise regulatory operations and enforcement across healthcare services, information and products. This is timely as rapid advances in medicine, technology and healthcare require us to constantly evolve our regulatory approaches, ultimately for the benefit and safety of patients.

There is now a Singapore Emergency Medical Team (SGEMT). It is part of a network of 40 WHO-certified field hospitals, ready to be deployed to crisis-affected zones for humanitarian medical assistance.
The SGEMT is fully self-sufficient, and can generate its own electricity, prepare drinking water, and dispose waste.
It can be set up within 72 hours to provide comprehensive medical care to more than 100 patients a day for up to two weeks.
The SGEMT is a collaborative effort between Ministry of Health, Singapore, SAF, Singapore Civil Defence Force and our hospital clusters. It underscores Singapore’s commitment to strengthen regional disaster response capabilities, and is part of our contribution to our region.
