WONG Shiu Hong
My life mission is to improve the health of our workforce as many of us spend a good part of our lives at work. The workplace is an important setting for health protection, health promotion and disease prevention programs. By triangulating these efforts strategically and efficiently, they will bear fruit for employers in terms of better productivity through reduced sickness absence and staff loyalty, as well as reducing the prevalence of chronic diseases and their complications in the long term as we age, hence mitigating our rising healthcare costs.
