Abstract

Over the past 5 years, there has been growing attention to the health and well-being of international migrant workers (MWs) in Singapore, particularly low- to semi-skilled MWs and migrant domestic workers (MDWs). To promote well-being, the government has introduced several initiatives, including mandatory rest days and improved living facilities.1,2 Non-profit groups, such as HealthServe, have also established peer support networks and a counselling hotline.3, 4
