Healthcare in Singapore has been much discussed this past year. Join us on 8 February to discuss what the future might hold for healthcare reform in Singapore, with the annual Singapore Budget coming up soon.

The discussion will highlight trends in Singapore’s healthcare reforms, and explore potential future directions. We will discuss explanations for why Singaporeans do not feel comforted by government reassurances of healthcare affordability, and what the government’s likely plan will be in Budget 2014. We will also talk about the role of civil society in contributing to the dialogues and debates on health reforms.
