IHH Champions Health Literacy Through Quality Journalism
20 Jul 2026
Health literacy starts with access to trusted information. By making complex health issues accessible and understandable, quality journalism can empower people to take charge of their health and wellbeing.


At the Singapore Press Club Awards 2026, Dr Peter Chow, CEO of IHH Singapore, presented The Straits Times journalist Joyce Teo with the Health and Wellness Journalism Award.

Joyce was recognised for her thoughtful and impactful reporting on mental health, a subject that can be difficult for many individuals and families to discuss openly. Her article examined the death by suicide of an 11-year-old child, addressing difficult questions while providing practical guidance from a psychiatrist on recognising potential warning signs and seeking support early.

As the new sponsor of the Health and Wellness Journalism Award, IHH Healthcare is proud to support journalism that strengthens public understanding of health and wellbeing.

Accessible and credible health reporting plays an important role in strengthening public understanding of health issues. By translating complex medical issues into practical insights, journalists can raise awareness, encourage earlier intervention and empower people to make informed decisions about their health.

We congratulate Joyce and all the Singapore Press Club Awards recipients whose work continues to inform, educate and make a meaningful difference in the community.
