Singapore adds $13.2m to pandemic fund

This brings the city-state’s total contribution to $26.4m (US$20m).

Minister for Health Ong Ye Kung has announced Singapore’s additional $13.2 m (US$10m) contribution to The Pandemic Fund at a pledging event held during the G20 Joint Finance and Health Ministerial Meeting in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

This brings the city-state’s total contribution to $26.4m (US$20m).

The Pandemic Fund was launched in 2022 to boost global pandemic preparedness and response, especially in low- and middle-income countries, and strengthen the global health system.

During the event, Ong suggested an increased focus on global surveillance and less developed countries' pandemic preparedness to maximise the fund.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

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