EW months ago , our team gathered to brainstorm the next evolution of The HEALTH , and the offerings on print and social media . As it is our inaugural issue , the art and editorial teams collaborated on design direction while the editor-in-chief pitched his ideas to the editor .
The meeting room was a buzz with excitement at the prospect of an edition that would bring about current health and wellness coverage .
This includes getting abreast with news and industry practices , obtaining the views from the Ministry of Health and the Malaysian Medical Association to name a few .
In order to bring you in-depth knowledge on the various illnesses , diseases and their symptoms , we gathered renowned surgeons , doctors and columnist that the information would be beneficial to you as well as your family .
The HEALTH is all about empowering each and every individual in the society to live a healthy , happy and authentic life , while taking an honest approach – to embrace healthier habits and behaviours that create lasting happiness .
As famous 17th century English critic , essayist , poet , and writer James Henry Leigh Hunt once said : “ The groundwork of all happiness is good health .”
