This resonates with everyone, the Taskforce sought feedback, views, and ideas includes the government, public and private organisations, the community from Singaporeans from all walks of life. We held a six-week-long public and you. In order to achieve improvements in health and well-being, consultation and engaged 530 individuals via both face-to-face and we should look at health holistically; from the infrastructural, social, to online platforms. There was a good mix of respondents from different age economic perspectives. groups and across income strata, from students to working adults to retirees. 10 The Healthy Living Master Plan Taskforce adopted an inclusive and integrative approach by involving the community in a co-creation process. 6 Many of you shared what it means to live healthily, your aspirations and We hope to strengthen inter-agency collaboration and build on existing challenges for healthy living, in the environment where you live, work, infrastructure and ideas to develop a Master Plan that outlines strategies and play. There were also good ideas on encouraging and motivating that will allow Singaporeans to have easy access to healthy living. With individuals to practise healthy living habits. These ideas included having this in mind, we came up with the vision of the Master Plan: free access to physical infrastructure that is closer to home and for healthy living options to be more affordable. A substantial number of Singaporeans indicated that social ties and the presence of role models can be good motivators for behavioural change. Healthy Living Every Day: 7 In our public consultation, a participant shared his thoughts on what defines Making The Connections healthy living – “Healthy living is happy living – it is not only about being free from disease but also for one to have good mental health.” This is the ideal scenario where one is truly in a state of physical, mental, and social well-being and this is also a vision that is wholly supported by the World Health Organization. 8 The views and suggestions also gave insight into the complexity of shaping a landscape that is able to make healthy living a way of life. The health of an individual can be affected by factors extending from the environment to culture, and by interpersonal relationships with family and friends. In a way, we can conclude that achieving good health goes beyond making that personal choice, and any lifestyle change is best supported by a conducive environment. Healthy living is happy living – it is not only about being free from disease but also for one to have good mental health. 06 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY CHAPTER 1: SINGAPORE’S HEALTH AND SOCIAL LANDSCAPE 07 11 The Master Plan envisages healthy living as accessible, natural, and CHAPTER 1: effortless for all Singaporeans. In this Vision, Singapore in 2020 will have healthy living at the “doorstep” of every home, workplace, and school.

We will bring together the various stakeholders, both from the public and private sectors, and citizens working towards this vision. 12 Whether you are a housewife, working individual, retiree or a student, our vision is to make healthy living easy, convenient and attractive to you. Healthy Living – What Does Living Longer Mean To Us? This Master Plan is a living document and will continue to evolve as new approaches and ideas emerge in the future. 1 Like citizens in many developed nations around the world, Singaporeans are living longer.

By 2030, the number of Singaporeans aged 65 and above is projected to triple to 900,0002. a) PLACE – a conducive environment for healthy living b) PEOPLE – a socially inclusive community for healthy living 2 As our population ages, more Singaporeans will develop non- communicable diseases3 (NCDs) such as heart disease & stroke, cancer, c) PRICE – affordable options for healthy living diabetes, mental disorders and chronic respiratory disease. NCDs can affect daily living and pose long term health issues. According to the Singapore Burden of Diseases Study 2010, approximately 70% of the burden of deaths and ill-health are caused by NCDs. 3 To live long and to live well, we need to be free from NCDs. Only then we can be in good health to continue to pursue our goals and aspirations. 4 The leading NCDs in Singapore are largely influenced by a number of risk factors (ranging from lifestyle to Leading NCDs in Singapore dietary factors)4. In particular, obesity (as measured by • Heart disease & stroke Body Mass Index [BMI]) and cigarette smoking are the • Cancer two biggest risk factors associated with the burden • Diabetes of disease (Figure 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.

The idea for a national garden was planted in 1822 when Sir Stamford Raffles, the founder of modern Singapore, developed the first Botanical and Experimental Garden at Fort Canning. In 1859, the Singapore Botanic Gardens was established at the Tanglin site and in the 160 years past, it has flourished from a pleasure garden for the colonial community to a place cherished by all Singaporeans, a botanical institution known internationally. Singapore’s greening journey took root in the 1960s when founding Prime Minister, Mr Lee Kuan Yew planted a Mempat Tree at Farrer Circus. This kickstarted a national effort for tree planting, sowing the seed of a green home where beautiful parks and green belts would be the birthright of every Singaporean. Today, the intricate lattice of greenery we have woven into the cityscape supports thriving biodiversity and provides residents with a quality living environment. This not only draws the appreciation and marvel of visitors, but has become a part of our national identity.
