Colorectal cancer is the number one and number two diagnosed cancer in Singaporean men and women* respectively.

Blood in the stool may be a sign of colorectal cancer, and a Faecal Immunochemical Test (FIT) kit can help detect it. The test is safe, easy to do, and does not require fasting or diet changes beforehand.

Are you a Singaporean or Permanent Resident, 50 years old or above?

Present your NRIC to pick up your FIT kit at all polyclinics, selected pharmacies, selected Eu Yan Sang outlets, and other locations in Singapore.

Available if you have not done an FIT test in the last 12 months or a colonoscopy in the last 10 years. Terms and conditions apply. To make an enquiry, phone 1800 727-3333.

Learn more from the Singapore Cancer Society.
