About this event

According to the latest National Registry of Diseases Office report, more than 74,000 individuals were diagnosed with cancer from 2014 to 2018. On average, 40 cases were diagnosed every day, and over 28,000 people died from the disease during the same period.

Cancer can affect anyone. Thus, cancer screening is an essential tool to detect early cancers and growths that have not become cancerous yet. In collaboration with the Singapore Cancer Society, join MoneyOwl at our Cancer Webinar: Prevention is Better Than Cure, on 29 September at 7:30 pm, where our guest speaker, Dr Patricia Kho, will share with you more about the prevention of common cancers. In addition, learn more from Colin Lai, our lead client adviser from MoneyOwl, about the critical illness coverage you need if life ever hits you with an unexpected illness.

Date: 29 September 2022 | Time: 7:30pm – 9:00pm | Venue: Zoom
