Empowering Our Community: Launch of the North East Cancer Warrior Support Scheme
A truly meaningful afternoon unfolded recently at Our Tampines Hub as we proudly hosted the launch of the North East Cancer Warrior Support Scheme, with a specific focus on Colorectal Cancer. The event was graced by Guest-of-Honour Mr. Masagos Zulkifli, and expertly hosted by Mayor Baey Yam Keng. Also in attendance were Dr. Koh Poh Koon and Dr. Charlene Chen, esteemed Advisers to Tampines GRC GROs, all coming together for this vital community initiative.
Supporting Our Cancer Warriors
This groundbreaking scheme is designed to provide crucial support to residents affected by colorectal cancer. Its core objectives are twofold: to alleviate the significant financial burden associated with treatment and to champion early detection through comprehensive screening programs. By addressing both the cost of care and the importance of timely diagnosis, the scheme aims to make a tangible difference in the lives of many within our community.
A Day of Awareness and Engagement
Beyond the official proceedings, the launch event was a vibrant affair filled with community spirit. Guests and residents alike were treated to engaging performances and participated in interactive activities. An informative exhibition showcase further highlighted dedicated community care efforts and the critical importance of cancer prevention. It was a day that blended serious health awareness with community engagement, fostering a supportive environment for all.
We extend our deepest gratitude to all partners, talented performers, and every resident who joined us to mark this important milestone. Your presence underscores a crucial step forward in strengthening cancer support for our community. Together, we stand united with our Cancer Warriors, committed to a future of greater awareness, support, and hope.
