Practising a healthier lifestyle
To further promote a healthy lifestyle
through movement and exercise, a
new feature, BN on the Move was
launched on the BruHealth app on
August 14, 2022. BN on the Move is an
initiative organised by the Ministry of
Health (MoH) and EVYD Technology to
secure one of the Brunei Vision 2035
goals of having a healthy population
contributing to a high quality of life.
At the same time, the ministry also
launched the One Billion Steps
Together campaign, a challenge
for the public to achieve one billion
steps together. Participants are
able to view their personal rankings
among friends and within the
country through a leaderboard on
BruHealth.
The app logged in one billion steps
in eight days, participated by over
43,000 people. This milestone was
achieved in a much shorter time than
the initial expectation of one month.
Following the campaign’s success,
the 20 Billion Steps Together
challenge under the BN on the Move
initiative was launched on October 1,
2022 for a duration of three months.
Participants successfully reached
their target on New Year’s Eve.
In light of the achievement, Minister
of Health Dato Seri Setia Dr Haji Mohd
Isham bin Haji Jaafar, on behalf of
MoH, expressed his congratulations
to the spirit and commitment shown
by the citizens and residents of
Brunei who worked together to
achieve the goal. The minister said
the number of steps recorded at the
closing of the challenge at midnight
was at 20,128,540,942. Through
the success, the minister hopes to
see citizens and residents of the
Sultanate maintain an active lifestyle
to achieve optimal health.
