SINGAPORE General Hospital (SGH) and SingHealth Group will launch the inaugural issue of Singapore Health - a newspaper reporting on health-related matters affecting Singaporeans - on Tuesday.
The bi-monthly, tabloid-sized newspaper, which covers health and wellness, the latest medical breakthroughs, healthcare services and tips on navigating hospital processes, aims to elevate the level of health literacy among Singaporeans.
Singapore Press Holdings (SPH) Magazines is the appointed publishing agent.
The content is packaged to provide digestible, informative and insightful reads that draw on expert views and the specialised knowledge of medical professionals within SGH and the SingHealth Group. The newspaper also hopes to be a practical and useful resource of information for readers.
Some 40,000 copies of Singapore Health will be available at the three hospitals, five national speciality centres and selected polyclinics under the SingHealth umbrella. Copies will also be handed out at high-traffic points within the Central Business District area.
The inaugural November-December 2009 issue will be officially launched on Tuesday at SGH by Dr Amy Khor, Mayor of Southwest District, who is also Senior Parliamentary Secretary, Ministry of the Environment and Water Resources and Chairperson.
