BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN, April 13 (Borneo Bulletin/ANN): The Ministry of Health (MoH) and Gleneagles JPMC Sdn Bhd inked a memorandum of understanding (MoU) at Tarindak D’Polo of the Royal Brunei Polo and Riding Club, Jerudong.
Deputy Permanent Secretary (Professional) at the MoH Dr Haji Zulaidi Haji Abdul Latif signed on behalf of the Brunei Government while Gleneagles JPMC was represented by CEO Dr Peter Tay.
Health Promotion Centre (HPC) Head Dr Hajah Norhayati binti Haji Md Kassim and Gleneagles JPMC Chief Operating Officer Izzul Hamzi bin Haji Jomari witnessed the signing.
Minister of Health Dato Seri Setia Dr Haji Mohd Isham bin Haji Jaafar was present at the ceremony.
MoH received a cheque for BND250,000 for the collaborative venture with Gleneagles JPMC. It is a continuation of a public-private partnership (PPP) initiated in 2019 between both parties.
The collaborative venture comprises three programmes to be implemented by the HPC.
The first is Workplace and Health (WAH) Programme encouraging workplaces to provide for and support active lifestyle, healthy eating, becoming smoke-free and have good mental well-being.
The Happy Environment and Lifestyle (HEAL) Programme is intended to facilitate and support physical activity interventions in community settings leveraging on partnerships and networking with local stakeholders.
The third programme, the Health Lifestyle Programme, is intended to complement the other two programmes in raising awareness on lifestyle risk factors including unhealthy eating and smoking.
Since August 2020, over 10,000 government personnel from 13 ministries participated in WAH health screening focussing on Body Mass Index (BMI) and blood pressure checks.
Gleneagles JPMC also provided random blood sugar (RBS) and atrial fibrillation tests as part of the screening process.
Nearly 200 WAH exercise sessions were conducted amongst the ministries led by fitness studio facilitators. The HEAL Programme has attracted some 1,000 participants to its six events since August 2020. - Borneo Bulletin/ANN
