Special comments by Mr Masagos Zulkifli

“76-year old Mdm Salbiah Binte Mohamed has chronic medical conditions and is wheelchair bound. As she is unable to get to her medical appointments on her own, she has been introduced to the Medical Escort and Transport service provided by Blossom Seeds. Glad to hear that through the service, she now has help getting to and from her medical appointments.

With 1 in 4 in our population aged 65 and above by 2030, our seniors face challenges such as increased healthcare needs with chronic medical conditions. As a result, some seniors may not be as mobile and may need extra help moving from place to place. We recognise such challenges, and are continually ramping up our efforts to better support seniors to age well in the community.

The Medical Escort and Transport service, which is administered by the Agency for Integrated Care - AIC Singapore, is one such example of how we are enhancing support for our seniors. The service provides transportation as well as someone to accompany clients to and from their homes for medical appointments. This can help bring peace of mind to our seniors and their caregivers.

Just as how Mdm Salbiah has benefitted from the Medical Escort and Transport service, we hope other seniors who need help can benefit too. If you know a senior who might need such assistance, do check with the Agency for Integrated Care at 1800-650-6060.”

Thank you Mr Masagos Zulkifli for your support in our cause!
