Good to know that NTUC is doing things for women.

SINGAPORE: The Health Promotion Board (HPB) has partnered NTUC Women's Development Secretariat to promote women's health at the workplace.
Under the partnership, the secretariat will get the 1,700 women union leaders to encourage companies to sign up for the Workplace Health Promotion Grant. This will be done through platforms such as health talks between the secretariat and the women union leaders.
The grant was extended from S$15,000 since July, with an additional S$5,000 for companies to organise women-centric health events.
Dr Amy Khor, Senior Minister of State for Health, said: "We hope that more employers will take advantage of the grant to make cancer screening more accessible and affordable to employees.
"This is important as cervical cancer and breast cancer rank amongst the top 10 most common cancers amongst Singaporean women. Some of the companies that have already made use of the grant include Chandrani Enterprise, Virtual HR and Makino Asia."

This is good news. I wonder how the grants can be tapped.
