SUSS launches intercontinental alliance of healthcare providers initiative

Initiatives will be grounded in five strategic themes including continuity of care.

Singapore University of Social Sciences (SUSS) launched the Intercontinental Alliance for Integrated Care (IAIC), which unites healthcare providers, social service agencies, academics, and policymakers worldwide.

The IAIC seeks to advance holistic patient-centred solutions that address the needs of ageing populations globally, along with challenges presented by chronic diseases.

Initiatives by IAIC will be grounded in five strategic themes: continuity of care, healthy ageing, digital inclusion and innovation, training and capacity building, governance and economics.

The IAIC was launched at a gala dinner attended by Deputy Prime Minister Heng Swee Keat and over 200 guests, including 13 founding members from overseas universities across Asia, North America, and Europe.

Each country member will also form local chapters to implement actionable programmes. In Singapore, SUSS has signed a memorandum of understanding with St. Luke's ElderCare, TOUCH Community Services, and Tsao Foundation to establish local chapters.

As Singapore approaches ‘super-aged’ status by 2026, Tsao Foundation will focus on programmes targeted at eldercare and supporting mature workers, whilst St. Luke's ElderCare and TOUCH Community Services will focus on broader social care and community wellness efforts.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
