Health T.A.G. (Test, Advise, Go!) is a pharmacist-led health assessment event for the public, offering complimentary point-of-care testing for the “three highs” and personalised heart risk consultation by pharmacists. It was conceptualized with the idea of bringing healthcare to the community in keeping with Singapore’s Healthier SG campaign. Together with our partners, we aim to co-create an integrated network across health, social and community.
Key activities
- On-the-spot testing of cholesterol, glycated haemoglobin (average of a person’s blood sugar), blood pressure, urine proteins and BMI;
- Personalised risk profile consultation and advice on the next course of action by on-site pharmacists;
- Administration of nationally recommended vaccines (eg. influenza and pneumococcal vaccinations) for those at-risk in accordance with MOH’s vaccination guidelines;
- Brown-bagging for those who have medicines to bring for check-up and advice.

The inaugural event was held on 4 September 2022 at The Frontier CC.
