Project Silver Screen (PSS)

Project Silver Screen (PSS) provides functional screening in the community and aims to detect early decline in vision, hearing and oral health among seniors. Through the programme, seniors who require support can receive follow-up care and access to affordable assistive devices, such as spectacles, hearing aids and dentures. PSS helps seniors maintain their quality of life, supports independence, and enables ageing in place.
