MOH, Australia sign MOU to boost health coordination amidst ageing population

Potential collaborations are in aged care, primary care, and health financing.

Singapore and Australia’s health ministries will work together to determine potential collaborations in health systems as both populations need to enhance their elderly care.

The MOU was signed on the sidelines of the G20 Health Ministers’ Meeting (HMM) and Joint Finance and Health Ministers’ Meeting (JFHMM) in Gandhinagar, India on 19 August 2023.

The G20 HMM and JFHMM tackle the pandemic financing, where Health Minister Ong Ye Kung said surveillance funding needs to be focused on.

“This includes acquiring abilities to rapidly characterise new pathogens and establish their deadliness, infectiousness, and modes of transmission,” read the statement.

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up 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. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
