Singapore's healthcare emissions above global average, report finds

The government launched the Singapore National Health Sector Emissions Baseline Report.

Singapore's per-capita healthcare emissions are above the global average, on par with Japan and South Korea, a report found.

The healthcare system currently operates at a carbon intensity 20% lower than that of other advanced economies, Senior Minister of State for MDDI and MOH, Tan Kiat How, said.

The remarks were made during the launch of the "Singapore National Health Sector Emissions Baseline Report," which provides a national assessment of healthcare emissions in the local context.

“We face many tight constraints such as our rapidly ageing population that requires more specialised care, relatively high accessibility to healthcare services, and high standards of care,” the Senior Minister added.

The report was developed through collaboration between the Ministry of Health (MoH), MoH Holdings, NHG Health, National University Health System, Singapore Health System, Agency of Logistics and Procurement Services, and experts from the Centre for Sustainable Medicine at the National University of Singapore, Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine.

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.
