class="content__text" Spoke to over 600 GPs today at our Healthier SG GP Townhall. After so many webinars, we can finally meet everyone in person. Yet we had one of our largest turnouts. As we roll out #HealthierSG later this year, we want Singaporeans to have a trusted relationship with their family doctors who can be their close advisor and coach. GPs are therefore the lynchpin to the success of Healthier SG, which will elevate the importance of primary care to a level it deserves. COVID-19 has already shown us that this can be done, as primary care was the key to our national response. Family doctors, not hospitals, got people vaccinated, and helped the majority of infected cases recover safely. Together, we pulled through the crisis of a generation. Grateful for the many words of support and very candid feedback. Healthier SG will be a multi-year effort. Its design and implementation will not be problem-free but we will work through them, in order to improve the health of Singaporeans.
