Prevalence of stunting (height for age <-2 standard deviation from the median of the World Health Organization (WHO) Child Growth Standards) among children under 5 years of age
Singapore takes an integrated approach to maintain our low levels of stunting, such as lowering the burden of stunting by ensuring access to quality healthcare and providing support for vulnerable families. For instance, as part of the interagency taskforce on Child and Maternal Health and Well-being, the Ministry of Health works with various government agencies and healthcare clusters to increase uptake of upstream preventive health services for children and enhance service integration and support for the children and families. The Health Promotion Board also collaborates with schools, parents and caregivers in supporting children in all aspects of their health, including adopting healthier diet and physical activity. Hence, Singapore does not routinely collect data on this indicator.
