Synopsis:

The National Population Health Survey (NPHS) is an ongoing survey to assess the health status of Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents. Jointly conducted by the Ministry of Health (MOH) and Health Promotion Board (HPB), the survey focuses on obtaining key health statistics from selected households across Singapore. It aims to gather insights on demographics and health-related factors such as chronic diseases, exercise, health screening, mental well-being, nutrition and smoking. The data collected helps shape policies and develop programmes that cater to the nation's health needs. IPS Social Lab had been appointed to administer this survey.
