SHC and polytechnics ink MoU for palliative care needs in Singapore

The initiative aligns with the MOH’s National Strategy for Palliative Care.

The Singapore Hospice Council (SHC), Temasek Polytechnic, Republic Polytechnic, and Ngee Ann Polytechnic have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to address palliative care needs in the country.

The initiative is in line with the Ministry of Health’s (MOH) National Strategy for Palliative Care (NSPC) which aims to develop a supportive environment through sustained community engagement.

Meanwhile, the collaboration is set to establish joint initiatives such as student internship programmes, industry sharing, and curriculum development amongst other projects in palliative care.

“Palliative care is an approach that enhances the quality of life for patients, young and old, who are coping with life-limiting illnesses and their loved ones,” Minister of State at MOH, Rahayu Mahzam, said.

“As part of our national push for palliative care, we are actively bolstering our national palliative care capacity and we welcome everyone with interest whether to serve as healthcare professionals or volunteers,” Mahzam 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.
