  • 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.

  • Singapore: Healthcare Overview 2015 CS ASEAN / Singapore
    Singapore: Healthcare Overview 2015 CS ASEAN / Singapore 1. SUMMARY According to the World Health Organization (WHO), Singapore’s healthcare system ranks sixth globally and offers the 4th best healthcare infrastructure in the world. It also serves as the healthcare and medical hub of the region and is arguably Asia’s best healthcare system. Demand for healthcare in Singapore is set to grow as the population increases and ages. The island state’s population is likely to increase to 5.5 million by 2020. Demand for state of the art medical technologies is also expected to grow as Singapore strengthens its reputation as the region’s healthcare hub and center for healthcare excellence offering first class healthcare delivery systems and facilities to both its resident population and the international patient market. Singapore serves as a showcase for healthcare delivery and medical technology, while also providing an important gateway to the regional ASEAN (Southeast Asia) economies. The three key healthcare strategies Singapore is pursuing are clinical research, improving long-term care and moving towards more sophisticated care. Singapore recently implemented universal healthcare called “MediShield Life”, a universal insurance coverage. Under MediShield Life, even people with pre-existing conditions will be covered. The national healthcare plan covers 100% of the population and ensures that Singaporeans all have access to medical care. 2. GOVERNMENT POLICY As the Singapore government’s presiding healthcare body, the Ministry of Health (MOH) is responsible for formulation of policies and programs for the development and regulation of healthcare products and services. As a statutory board of the MOH, the Health Sciences Authority (HSA) serves to protect and advance national health and safety.

  • Governing Medical Tourism: the Roles of Singaporean Government
    29 Vol. 38, No.1, January - April 2020 Page [29-53] Governing Medical Tourism: The Roles of Singaporean Government Kaewkamol Pitakdumrongkit* Centre for Multilateralism Studies, S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies (RSIS), Nanyang Technological University, Singapore Received 15 July 2019, Received in revised form 24 January 2020, Accepted 25 January 2020, Available online 16 March 2020 Abstract This article seeks to shed light on a question: “What explains a nation’s medical tourism?” This paper focuses on the roles played by a central government in shaping the industry, especially how it balances the advantages and disadvantages of pursuing medical tourism, which has been underexamined. I attempt to fill such intellectual gap by investigating the roles of Singaporean government in affecting the country's medical tourism. Via this case, I demonstrate how the state’s authorities crafted the rules and regulations to promote the sector and simultaneously coped with the adverse effects the industry brings to the nation. Insights from my analysis not only extend the existing literatures on the development of medical tourism and roles of domestic political institutions in shaping states’ policy outcomes, but also provide practitioners with lessons useful for crafting effective policies to sustain their countries’ pursuit of medical tourism.
