We teach our participants about hygiene, healthy lifestyles and how to prevent and manage chronic lifestyle / infectious diseases.
Most participants complete our 12 compulsory Basic Health Education (BHE) course, which runs for 8 to 10 3 hourly sessions (often once a week). Each attendee who completes the BHE gets a Certificate of Attendance.
The BHE includes many core subjects like Hygiene and Health, Healthy Eating, Healthy Heart, Healthy Lungs etc., designed to suit the learning level of participants. There are also a few workshops that are designed for certain populations, such as Teenage Pregnancy.
Teaching material is designed based on collaboration between the Health Promoters and learning and teaching experts in the field. Each presentation is designed to teach principles of hygiene and healthy living in order to prevent disease. Medical experts also review each presentation.
Leaflets that summarise the content are given to each participant during each workshop.
