Greetings from the PSS Pharmacy Week 2024 Organizing Committee!

We are excited to share that this year’s Pharmacy Week 2024 carnival is set to take place at Heartbeat@Bedok on 29th September, 10am to 2.30pm. This year’s event promises to be a significant occasion, with Senior Minister of State Mr. Tan Kiat How as the Guest of Honour.

Our theme for this year’s event is Just Ask! Know Your Medicines! We aim to engage and educate the public through health talks and interactive booths which will cover topics such as understanding supplements, food choices, and effective medication management. By providing practical advice and demonstrations, the event hopes to equip the community with the knowledge to manage their health better.

That’s not all! There will also be a health screening circuit conducted by the Health T.A.G. (Test, Advise, Go!) team, which allows the community to understand more about their health and medications, and also enrol in the ‘Healthier SG’ initiative.

Save the date in your calendars now, and do visit our website which will be launching at the end of June for more updates on this meaningful event!
