Health and Wellbeing, In Your Own Hands Stamp

This series of three stamps issued in February 1993, were promoted by the Ministry of Health, Health Education Department, and are dedicated to a problem which plagues modern society – the lack of healthy life styles. In the last few years scientists have discovered that most serious diseases prevalent today (heart/blood diseases, cancer, etc), can be directly attributed to man’s behaviour. The stamps graphically and humorously illustrate the importance of adopting a healthy life style. This can be achieved practically in the following areas:-

1.60 stamp – “Eat sensibly and inspect your food” ; 1.30 stamp – “Don’t smoke” ; 0.85 stamp – “Exercise regularly”.

The stamps with an information sheet are enclosed in a plastic protection sheet
