Tan Tock Seng Hospital opens fund for sustainable healthcare

The new Health for Generations fund aims to raise $18m over the next five years.

Singapore’s Tan Tock Seng Hospital (TTSH) has announced the Health for Generations Fund aimed towards making healthcare more sustainable as part of its 180th-anniversary celebration.

As part of this initiative, the fund plans to raise $18m over the next five years to support developments in key areas such as innovation, preventive healthcare, and capability advancement.

“We must develop healthcare innovations and translate research from bench to bedside faster,” Tang Kong Choong, TTSH CEO, said.

The fund will support population health research projects, including the five-year “Health4All@Toa Payoh” longitudinal study to understand psychosocial and environmental factors influencing health.

Meanwhile, another research named “Predict-2-Prevent” will focus on 50,000 gene variants of 1,000 patients suffering from high blood pressure, cholesterol, or obesity to allow for more personalised and intensive intervention.

“The hospital will need equitable care solutions that will help patients attain their full potential for health and well-being,” Tang added.

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.
