FamNex@Bukit Canberra is a one-stop shop that provides everything from marriage preparation and parenting workshops to lactation support for mothers.

It also provides young families with access to developmental assessment and screening for growth concerns for children, and postnatal depression for mothers. “We are tapping on these pilot sites to test out different models of bringing together partners to offer co-located programmes and services. MOH will study which elements of these models are most effective and explore how they can be scaled to residents in other regions,” he said.
