Foreword

This is a golden age for women. We are daughters, wives and mothers, and also entrepreneurs and professionals. With so much that is demanded of us, keeping ourselves fit and healthy is as paramount as being a good mother and doing our jobs well. Healthcare is life care, so it's time to take charge of our bodies!

As the Trusted Leader in Healthcare, SingHealth understands that women today aren't just looking for more information about their health. Being well educated and well read, you are already familiar with the various diseases and conditions. What you really want are solutions to your problems.

In collaboration with Her World, SingHealth highlights your biggest health concerns and offers a plethora of treatments. We've gathered a team of qualified healthcare specialists to tackle each problem individually, detail the pros and cons of each solution and help decide the best one for you.

Did you know that screening for health problems is just as important as treating them? In fact, the earlier you screen, the higher your chances are of being completely cured. SingHealth has compiled a list of screening options for conditions ranging from eye diseases to stomach ailments.

This information should allow you to gain intimate knowledge of your body and help you make informed decisions should the time come for you to treat your conditions. So take care of yourself and here's wishing you good health.
