Cardiac physiotherapy plays a crucial role in cardiac rehabilitation by enabling people with heart disease to exercise safely, improve their physical health and reduce the risk of future cardiac events. “Many people with a heart condition tend to be sedentary, with little experience of exercise. Consequently, some people experience fear and anxiety after a heart event and fear of exertion, while others may overexert beyond safe limits,” shares Gregory Fam, Senior Physiotherapist at the Singapore Heart Foundation (SHF).

The Singapore Heart Foundation is thrilled to announce the launch of the AED-on-Buses Programme with SBS Transit Ltd, enhancing community emergency response! This initiative is an extension of our AED-on-Wheels programme, which began in 2015 as part of the Singapore Civil Defence Force’s Save-a-Life initiative.   With this new introduction, we are increasing the number of AED-equipped vehicles on the road to 441, ensuring that lifesaving assistance is always within reach. In the event of a cardiac arrest emergency on board a bus, trained Bus Captains and commuters can use the AED to provide immediate help before paramedics arrive.   All participating Bus Captains are CPR-AED trained, reinforcing our commitment to empowering the community in times of need. Together with SBS Transit and SCDF, we are dedicated to making a meaningful difference in saving lives.   Let’s ensure that help is always just a heartbeat away! 💪❤️

12 Oct 2024 was an incredible day at Project Heart 2024! 💖 We gathered about 800 participants equipped with lifesaving CPR and AED skills, ready to make a difference in our community. A special thank you to our Guest of Honour, Mr. Baey Yam Keng, for joining us to promote bystander CPR on this significant day. Together, we can increase survival rates for cardiac arrest victims and empower each other to act in emergencies. Let’s continue to spread awareness and save lives! ❤️

Today, we made history with Institute of Technical Education College West as almost 1,000 students and staff participated in the largest-ever salt taste threshold test at our Heart Matters event (in celebration of National Heart Week/World Heart Day). The Heart Matters event aimed to encourage the proactive management of heart health, and to instill crucial cardiac emergency response skills. The enthusiastic turnout reflects a collective hope to reduce the lives impacted by heart disease, and of the commitment of these young minds to turn knowledge into practice for a heart-healthier Singapore. A big thank you to our Guest of Honour, Mr Don Wee, Grassroots Adviser to Chua Chu Kang GRC GROs (Brickland), for joining us in this groundbreaking and memorable event!

The Singapore Heart Foundation (SHF) is proud to have launched our Blood Pressure (BP) Awareness Kiosks as part of National Heart Week / World Heart Day (NHW/WHD) 2024. This initiative makes BP monitoring more accessible in community spaces, empowering many Singaporeans to take an active role in preventing cardiovascular disease (CVD). On 28 Sep 2024, we successfully hosted the Limbang-SHF Health Carnival near Yew Tee MRT. With the theme “Know Your Numbers” and the tagline “Score Right, Not High!”, the event featured mass workout sessions, cooking demonstrations, health talks, and interactive booths. We were honored to have Mr Ong Teng Koon, Second Advisor to Marsiling-Yew Tee GRC GROs (Limbang), grace the event, supporting our efforts in raising awareness and providing practical tools to combat hypertension and improve public health. #CardiovascularHealth #HypertensionAwareness #KnowYourNumbers #SingaporeHeartFoundation #CommunityHealth
