Pharmacy Week 2022 took place from 19 to 25 September 2022 with a health carnival held on 24 September 2022 at Nee Soon East Seniors’ Hub. The theme for Pharmacy Week this year is “Empowering A Healthier You”, emphasising on the importance of holistic health ownership encompassing medications, fitness and diet, which is in line with the Ministry of Health’s population health strategy, HealthierSG.
“There is no price tag for your health, go for Health T.A.G. Fair!”
In line with the nation's #HealthierSG strategy, NUS Department of Pharmacy and NUS Pharmaceutical Society partnered to pitch for the above tagline in the inaugural Health T.A.G. (Test, Advise, Go) Fair which took place on 4th September 2022 at The Frontier CC. It boasts of a turnout of almost 220 participants, comprising primarily of residents in the age group of 40 to 60 years old. The event was graced by Minister for National Development, Mr Desmond Lee, Chief Pharmacist Dr Camilla Wong and various stakeholders, including the Boon Lay grassroots leaders and director and partners from MOH Office for Healthcare Transformation. This was the first pharmacist-led health fair, planned and executed by staff and students from the Department of Pharmacy, NUS, supported by practicing pharmacists and nurses. The former was supported by Pharmaceutical Society of Singapore (PSS) while the latter was staffed by Diabetes Singapore.
