Changi General Hospital Partners With Gleneagles Hospital to Admit Dengue Patients Gleneagles Hospital (GEH) will set aside up to 12 beds for dengue patients coming from Changi General Hospital (CGH) Collaboration is part of CGH's contingency plan to manage potential surge situations Singapore, 22 July 2013 - As part of efforts to better care for an expected increase in demand from dengue patients, Changi General Hospital (CGH) and Gleneagles Hospital (GEH) have embarked on an initiative which taps on private sector bed capacity in the care of such patients. The collaboration will allow private acute hospitals to play a role in supporting the health-care needs of subsidized patients in Singapore. CGH patients warded at GEH will continue to retain their subsidy status and be cared for by the team of infectious disease specialists and nurses at GEH. 2 "We are piloting the initiative with GEH so that our hospital would be able to leverage on its capacity and resources should we see a surge in dengue patients, especially during the hotter month of August and September,” said Dr Lee Chien Earn, CEO of Changi General Hospital. 3 "This collaboration shows how the private and public sectors can come together to serve the healthcare needs of Singaporeans," said Dr Tan See Leng, Group Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director of Parkway Pantai Limited, which manages Gleneagles and three other private hospitals in Singapore. "We are happy to be able to play our part during this time of need and will offer our resources again when necessary, in the future." 4 The CGH-Gleneagles collaboration is expected to last between three to six months. This partnership is the second between CGH and Parkway Pantai. Since last year, Parkway East Hospital has provided CGH with a 30-bed ward to be managed by the CGH team. .

CHAPTER 3 Transforming the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) into a Global Services Hub: Enhancing the Competitiveness of the Health Services Sector in Singapore KAI HONG PHUA Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, National University of Singapore NICOLA S POCOCK Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, National University of Singapore 1. Introduction Singapore was the first country in the region to officially articulate an aim to attract medical tourists and promote the export of health services overseas. In 2003, the Healthcare Services Working Group (HSWG) of the Economic Review Committee recommended that Singapore attract one million foreign patients by 2012. To achieve this goal, the Singapore Tourism Board (STB), along with the Economic Development Board (EDB) and International Enterprise (IE) Singapore, launched SingaporeMedicine in 2003, a multi-agency initiative that aims to promote, develop and maintain Singapore as an international medical hub. However, in recent years, the push for medical tourism has been muted. Sectiononeof this paper summarizes the Singapore context for a past medical tourism hub policy, followed by an overview of the health system, with policy implications for the system should medical tourism become a major growth area. Methodology is then described in section two, followed by the findings of the SWOT analysis conducted among stakeholders in the health services sector. 111 The objective of this paper is to: 1. Undertake a SWOT analysis for the health services sector in Singapore. 2. Undertake an analysis of policies/regulatory/institutional support for the health services sector in Singapore. 3. Develop a profiling of firms which are considered key players for the health services industry.

IHH Healthcare Invests in Genomic Medicine Company to Provide Cancer Patients Better Treatment Outcomes
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Kuala Lumpur/ Singapore, 20 November 2019 IHH Healthcare Invests In Genomic Medicine Company to Provide Cancer Patients Better Treatment Outcomes • Led minority investment in genomic medicine start-up Lucence • Offers patients clinically validated blood-based cancer screening and treatment monitoring solutions with a focus on cancers commonly found in Asia • Embraces value-based healthcare approach that aims to improve clinical outcomes through less invasive, more precise, and more affordable technology IHH Healthcare (“IHH” or the “Group”), a leading premium global healthcare provider, led a minority investment in Singapore-based genomic medicine company Lucence as part of a USD $20 million Series A. The investment is part of IHH’s collaboration with start-ups to deploy innovative and cutting-edge healthcare technology to enhance the patient experience, treatment and clinical outcomes across its network of 80 hospitals in 10 countries. In Singapore, for example, IHH is working with a local start-up to improve estimated bill size for patients ahead of admission through predictive AI. The partnership with Lucence will give IHH patients access to Lucence’s suite of cancer diagnostics and AI- driven analytics. Lucence uses liquid biopsy, a blood-based technology that is less invasive than tissue biopsies, to help clinicians discover a range of information about a tumour and aid in their treatment decisions through a simple blood sample. It focuses on Asia-prevalent cancers such as lung, breast, colorectal, pancreatic, nasopharyngeal and liver cancers. Dr Kelvin Loh, Chief Executive Officer (Designate) of IHH Healthcare, said, “Liquid biopsy is a game- changer in our endeavour to provide cancer patients with better, value-driven outcomes through precise treatment selections and more affordable care.
