NTU Singapore and the National Healthcare Group (NHG) have launched Singapore's first academic-clinical research unit dedicated to health behavioural sciences. The joint research centre aims to identify underlying factors exacerbating priority health concerns in Singapore and Asian populations, and to develop knowledge and solutions that will impact public health policy, drive health promotion efforts, and support national strategies such as Healthier SG.
