We are humbled by your immense sacrifices, invaluable dedication, commitment and unwavering efforts in managing COVID-19, oftentimes risking your own lives, for the benefit of the nation.

We cannot thank you enough for your noble contributions and sacrifices. It is our ardent hope that we will continue to work together in providing the best healthcare services to our people. We wish to thank members of the public who have volunteered to assist our healthcare workers and other frontline workers. Together, we will win this battle against COVID-19.
