We aim to create a nation of people who incorporate healthy behaviours, such as regular physical activities, sufficient sleep and healthy eating habits as part of their daily lives. The Division is also in charge of Programme Integration, where a team is dedicated to design, plan and implement programmes and initiatives to deliver person-centric health promotion based on individual’s personalised health needs and goals and cutting across different preventive health domains.
