Not suitable for most of the forumers here, but you can pass the message to someone who needs it:

Free Health Screening at Toa Payoh HDB HUB for 50+ years old on Sunday (Oct 7).
To know more details, you can watch today's news.

When you reach that age, it is better to forget about 50 years loan.

Health is wealth.

Thanks,
Richard
PS. Super long queue.

I believe this is beneficial if it is organised by HPB, else it could be just clinics trying to get customers and the cost of this screening could be loaded later to the patients. But overall it is still good to assess current health status.

Sure to have lots of people. I think this health screening only check your cholesterol, BMI, sugar content.

Many years back, I went for a free health screening, irregardless of age, there is a health report for you too and a doctor to explain on your report. It depends on donation (monthly or yearly) but no obligations, they don't ask you for it, it is up to you and people there are very friendly. I think it is something to do with Buddhism.

The one that I went for my free screening is at Redhill. I got it screened in Yr 2009, not sure whether they still provide such service or not, can call up and check.

It is organized by major hospitals such as TTSH.

Colon Cancer test is also included.

If there are cancer family history, you don't need to be 50+ years. Any age can go for the free test.
