The Singapore Land Authority (SLA) and SingHealth Community Hospitals will be co-developing a living asset map tailored for social prescribing to help Singaporeans be healthier.

Social prescribing connects people with a range of non-medical services in the community to improve their health and well-being. These assets include community groups that forge social connections, activity-based groups that promote health-social integration, and silver volunteerism groups to engender the purposeful engagement of seniors.

The living asset map will aggregate geospatial and community-based data to show the mapped assets to support healthcare providers and community partners in connecting their patients with suitable opportunities, as part of social prescribing. It will be first piloted with the Sengkang precinct.
