Government to shell out $50m funds for healthcare institutions

Professionals trained abroad will also be tapped.

Minister for Health Gan Kim Yong said on Tuesday that the government will continue to invest in the training of its healthcare professionals. In addition to classroom training within educational institutions, healthcare professionals also undergo supervised training in the public healthcare institutions.

MOH will provide an additional $50 million to our institutions in FY2013, to enhance their capacity to deliver good quality clinical training, in view of the increasing number of students.

He also noted that the government is on track to growing its professional workforce to meet the healthcare needs of Singapore's population, as outlined in Healthcare 2020. He said that priority continues to be to grow local healthcare manpower supply.

" Beyond our local training pipelines, we will continue to supplement our healthcare workforce with overseas-trained professionals, especially overseas Singaporeans.

The pre-employment grant for Singaporean medical and dental students studying overseas has proven to be successful, with 189 grants given out since 2010," he added.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
