新加坡衛生部：會提供不同的平台給不同的人來保持身體健康
2024年4月3日，新加坡衛生部高級政務次長拉哈尤·瑪贊女士答覆官委議員徐錦莉關於制定健康計劃的問題。
以下內容為新加坡眼根據國會英文資料翻譯整理：
徐錦莉女士：我感謝衛生部高級政務次長的回答。我只是想了解一下，是否有意願設立單一接觸點，供那些不在第一階段內的人使用，例如如果我是30或40歲，但我意識到我想更積極地進行健康規劃，包括飲食、健身以及生活方式的改變，是否會有一個單一的接觸點，我們可以去諮詢，以便整合所有這些各種設施和可用的幫助？
拉哈尤 瑪贊女士：感謝議員的提問。在我們的工作中，我們意識到處於生活不同階段的人們，會通過不同方式來到我們的門戶網站。因此，雖然設立一個接觸點可能會有所幫助，但在接觸方面，有許多不同的人以不同的方式進行接觸是有意義的。這就是為什麼我們與各種合作夥伴合作。有一些關鍵的信息來源，我們希望公民和居民參考，比如健康365（Healthy 365）和保健資訊網（HealthHub），這些是關鍵的接觸點。
在接觸方面，對於不同的人群，有不同的排列組合，不同的平台更有意義，尤其是對於工作的成年人來說，在社區對於那些年長一些的人來說，也許在學校對於孩子們來說更有意義。雖然我們注意到需要有一個單一的資源，但擁有不同的接觸點可能會有所幫助。
如果你從想要與我們合作的合作夥伴的角度來看，也許我建議新加坡保健促進局（Health Promotion Board，簡稱HPB）可能是有效開始的一個機構。但是，正如我之前所說的，人民協會（PA）和體育局也在做不同維度的工作。如果你想嘗試並協調某些努力，你可以向我提出，也許我們可以將你與新加坡保健促進局聯繫起來。
議長先生：徐錦莉女士。
徐錦莉女士：我感謝衛生部高級政務次長。我認為，從白領的專業人士、經理及執行人員（Professional, Manager and Executive，簡稱PME）的角度來看，這個觀點是重要的。我們遇到的PMEs，鑒於人們現在更加意識到慢性疾病等問題，他們確實意識到，健康需要全面的方法 – 不僅僅是身體活動，還有什麼類型的身體活動，以及什麼類型的飲食。
人們也想知道，例如來自健康365（Healthy 365）或保健資訊網（HealthHub），是否有一種方式可以讓他們更加積極地參與，但是尋求專業建議來制定一個健康計劃，使其個性化並解決他們的問題。
拉哈尤 瑪贊女士：正如我之前在答案中提到的，有不同的接觸點供這些PMEs去尋求幫助。目前，我們也正在建立這些。如果議員對如何進一步建設有任何其他建議，我們很樂意聽取，並且我們可以看看如何使這對社區更有意義。
以下是英文質詢內容：
Mr Speaker: Ms See.
Ms See Jinli Jean (Nominated Member): I thank the Senior Parliamentary Secretary. I just wanted to find out whether there would be intention to have single touch points, where those who are not within the first phase – for example, if I am in my 30s or 40s, but I recognise that I would like to take a more active action towards health planning, including diet, fitness as well as lifestyle changes – would there be a single touch point who we could approach so that we can integrate all these various facilities and help available?
Ms Rahayu Mahzam: I thank the Member for her question. In the work that we do, what we have realised that people come across our portals through very different situations; they are all at different phases of their lives. So, while it may be useful to have one touch point, but in terms of reaching out, it is meaningful to have many different people doing it in different manners. That is why we work with various partners. There are the key sources of information which we want citizens and residents to refer to, like Healthy 365 and HealthHub. These are the key touch points.
In terms of outreach, it is more meaningful to have different permutations, different platforms, at workplaces especially for working adults, at the community for those who are a bit more elderly, and maybe in schools for children. While we do note that there needs to be a single resource, it might be helpful to have different touch points.
If you are looking at it, though, from the perspective of partners who want to work with us, perhaps, I would suggest the Health Promotion Board (HPB) would be the one agency that maybe useful for you to start off with. But, as I said earlier, PA, SportSG also do different dimensions of the work. If you do want to try and tie up for certain efforts, you may refer it to me and perhaps we can connect you to HPB.
Mr Speaker: Ms See.
Ms See Jinli Jean: I thank the Senior Parliamentary Secretary. I think the perspective would be the professionals, managers and executives (PMEs). The PMEs that we come across, given people are now more aware of chronic illness and all that, they do recognise that it does take a holistic approach to health – not just physical activity, but what types of physical activity, what types of diet.
People are also wondering if, for example from Healthy 365 or HealthHub, would there be a way in which they can take a more involved approach, but seeking professional advice to construct a health plan which would allow them to be personalised and addressing their aliments.
Ms Rahayu Mahzam: As I mentioned earlier in my answer, there are different touch points for these PMEs to reach out to. At the moment, we are also building those up. If the Member has any other suggestions as to how we can build on these further, we are happy to hear from you and we can see how we can make this more meaningful for the community.
