  • Enhancing the Competitiveness of the Health Services Sector in Singapore
    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.

KEY LEARNINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS 33 3.1 KEY LEARNINGS 33 3.2 RECOMMENDATIONS 34 4. CONCLUSION 38 ANNEX A 39 ANNEX B 41 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ith seven in 10 of the resident population in the workforce, the workplace is an ideal setting to influence safety and health Wbehaviours. Since workers spend an average of nine hours per day at work, introducing safety and health programmes at workplaces allows employees to conveniently participate and benefit from these initiatives. Helping workers keep safe and healthy is important to allow them to stay employable and economically productive. With this aim, two National Tripartite Committees on Workplace Health (Tricoms) were established before 2010 to formulate strategies to improve workers’ health. To ensure success in this effort, it was deemed essential to have the active collaboration of government, employers and the union. The Tricoms’ three-pronged plan was to promote the concept of holistic safety and health, develop interventions relevant for mature workers and create workplace health promoting ecosystems. The Implementation Steering Committee (ISC) on Workplace Health was formed in 2011 to put the plan in motion.

However, there seemed to be a lack of concrete programmes addressing the issue amongst tertiary students in Singapore. Considering that Singapore is one of the most highly wired countries in the world, the prevalence of an excessive dependence on the Internet poses a significant threat to the physical and psychological well-being of local youth. This convinced four undergraduates to embark on a campaign, titled Unplug!, to raise awareness about Internet Dependency and the importance of moderating one‘s time online.
