Most of us remember getting the BCG vaccine as children. So when TB clusters appear again, it raises a fair question: are we still protected today?

The recent Bedok Central TB clusters are a reminder that tuberculosis is still present, even if we do not hear about it often.

While the BCG vaccine helps reduce the risk of severe childhood TB, it does not provide complete lifelong protection against adult pulmonary TB.

Our latest blog explains what TB is, how it spreads, who may still be at risk, and what to know about protection and insurance if the condition becomes serious → https://hisg.link/B1xL8Dy

Do you think most people understand how TB risk works after childhood vaccination?

For many people in Singapore, eczema is not just about itchy skin. It can mean recurring costs, disrupted sleep, missed work or school, and the stress of trying to manage flare-ups over time.

With MOH studying whether conditions such as eczema could be included under the CDMP, this has become an important conversation, especially for patients who currently manage most treatment as an outpatient expense.

In our latest blog, we unpack why eczema can become costly, what support exists today, and why this condition deserves to be taken more seriously → https://hisg.link/QMpGSwc

Do you think conditions like eczema should qualify for more flexible support through MediSave?

Strength training is no longer just for the young. More seniors in Singapore are using it to stay mobile, steady, and independent as they age.

More seniors in Singapore are signing up for strength training, and even joining waitlists to do it.

It is a strong reminder that healthy ageing is not just about living longer. It is also about staying steady on your feet, maintaining confidence in daily life, and keeping your independence for as long as possible.

In our latest blog, we break down why strength training matters with age, what can happen when strength is neglected, how to start safely, and where insurance may fit in if treatment is ever needed → https://hisg.link/k7tBlw9

What do you think holds more seniors back from strength training: fear of injury, not knowing where to start, or the idea that gyms are “not for them”?

Flight cancelled or delayed? Travel insurance can cover delays and cancellations but not in every situation.

A lot depends on why the disruption happened. If war, conflict, or civil unrest is involved, exclusions may apply even when travellers had no control over the situation.

We break down what is usually covered, what often is not, and the part many people only discover when plans have already gone wrong → https://hisg.link/sCcOYKv

Would you have assumed a cancelled flight is claimable no matter the cause?

When flights are delayed or cancelled, most of us hope travel insurance will help.

But if the disruption is linked to global conflict or an “act of war”, the answer may not be so straightforward.

Some travel delays and cancellations may be covered, but war-related disruptions are usually treated differently and may fall outside standard travel insurance cover.

In our latest blog, we explain what this means for travellers and what to check before buying your next policy → https://hisg.link/8AHqwXf

Be honest, do you read travel insurance exclusions before a trip, or only when something goes wrong?

With global conflicts driving flight delays and cancellations, is your trip actually covered? "Act of war" exclusions say maybe not.

Cancer care can be emotionally and financially difficult.

One key reminder from our Hope for Life Cancer Symposium panelists: understand your coverage early, before you need it.

Because when illness happens, the last thing anyone wants is to choose between their health and their finances.

Have you ever gone back to training too soon and regretted it later?

An injury can feel like all your progress has been put on pause.

The urge to jump straight back into training is real, especially when you start feeling better. But returning too quickly can turn a manageable setback into a much longer recovery.

The safest comeback is a gradual one, supported by patience, proper rehab, and a clear understanding of what your insurance can help cover. Read more here → https://hisg.link/ueozEzj

The hardest part of an injury isn’t always the injury itself. Sometimes, it’s the urge to make up for lost time the moment you feel better.

But coming back too fast is how a one-week setback can turn into a three-month one.

In this blog, we look at how to return to exercise safely, when pain may be a warning sign, and how insurance may help if recovery involves physiotherapy, scans, specialist care, or hospital treatment → https://hisg.link/ItvPqSK

Because recovery is not just about getting back to movement. It is also about knowing what support you have before you need it.

What’s the injury that taught you to slow down?

A safe return after injury takes patience. Learn how to rebuild gradually and what insurance may support your recovery.
