A new study by the National University of Singapore on more than 5,000 residents in Queenstown found that social connections and community interactions can help with physical and mental health. Therefore, the district launched a new community sharing space of “Meiling Friends Gathering Club”, which promotes residents' health and longevity and allows residents of the elderly and young to obtain a comprehensive health care plan.
Based on this research, multiple governments and private institutions integrate resources, form a joint community support team, arrange professional nurses to enter the community, and have dedicated personnel to coordinate various health care and social activities.
“Happy Village@Mei Ling” (Happy Village@Mei Ling) is located on the ground floor of the 160th HDB flat on Meiling Street and will be officially opened on Saturday (March 15). In his opening speech, Chen Jiehao, Senior Minister of Government of the Ministry of Digital Development and Information and the Ministry of National Development, revealed the new research and new pilot plans.
He revealed that the government also plans to continue promoting the new plan in the west.
