Our team organised an outreach at Cochrane Recreation Centre in collaboration with Project KURA (NUS Nursing School) in July.

We worked with the NUS Nursing students to provide basic health screening and education for migrant workers, focusing on high blood pressure and high cholesterol. We shared tips to reduce the risk of developing such chronic illnesses.

Our team supported the students in the contextualising, planning and development of the outreach programme by sharing various health-related initiatives and educational content they can create to support migrant workers’ wellbeing.

We were glad to have served over 200 migrant brothers with the students.  

 Here are some testimonials that the students shared:

“This outreach allowed me to interact with migrant workers and better understand their diets and jobs. I hope that the information we shared with them will allow them to be prepared and empowered to take good care of their health.”

“This experience made me realise that our migrant workers are really busy with work. I think it’s very important for us to find a way to improve migrant workers’ work-life balance and we should always be appreciative of their contributions to our society!”
