Heart disease is no longer just an older person's problem. Many young adults may already have risk factors without even realising it.
That is why the National University Heart Centre, Singapore (NUHCS) is rolling out complimentary community health checks at convenient locations - including places of worship, community clubs and communal spaces.
As part of the Cardio4Cities @ NUHCS programme, these health checks are specially designed for individuals aged 21-40, a group often overlooked when it comes to heart health. Our goal is to help these individuals understand their risks early and take steps to protect their heart.
Cardio4Cities @ NUHCS programme is part of an important research initiative led by NUHCS to close the gap in preventive care for younger adults.
Did you know that 1 in 4 people in Singapore do not follow up with a medical professional after receiving an abnormal health screening result? Ignoring these warning signs can be dangerous because conditions like high blood pressure (hypertension), high cholesterol, and diabetes often have no symptoms until serious complications occur. Early follow-up is critical as it allows timely treatment, prevents long-term damage, and reduces the risk of heart disease and stroke.
That’s why our programme not only offers complimentary health checks but also provides structured follow-up options to help you stay on track with your health.

*This health check should not be taken as a full representation of your overall health. If your results are abnormal, we strongly recommend that you visit your nearest polyclinic/General Practitioner (GP) with the health check result for a formal blood test and medical report.
Individuals aged 21 to 40, regardless of health status, are eligible for the health checks.
If you have any existing health issues that we will need to be aware of, please inform us prior to the health checks, thank you.
If you are above 40, you are welcome to participate in the health checks. However, we encourage you to enrol into HealthierSG.
The mobile health checks will be held at accessible locations such as places of worship, community clubs and communal spaces.
Registration for the Cardio4Cities @ NUHCS is required at the different locations.
To know where the next mobile health check will be held at, please email us at [email protected] to find out more.
After your health checks, our staff will review your results and advise you on the next steps. There are five possible follow-up options, and we strongly encourage you to follow your personalised recommendations to continue taking charge of your health:
1. Formal medical assessment with a polyclinic/GP
2. Community pharmacist consultation to receive lifestyle and medication coaching
3. Health coaching for personalised guidance on ways to improve your health stats
4. CHAMP programme for structured support and educational lifestyle advice
5. Access Health Together resources via the NUHS app
Yes, the health check is complimentary as part of our community outreach and research initiative. However, if your results indicate that you need further medical assessment or treatment, any follow-up consultations with your GP or polyclinic will be at your own expense.
To support your journey, we also provide a complimentary follow-up at our affiliated community pharmacies (i.e. Guardian, Unity, Watsons) six months later, so you can track your progress and stay on top of your health.
