Transforming health systems: Equipping primary care to manage the health of Singaporeans
From ageing populations to zoonotic outbreaks, health systems have learnt that primary care must not just be another stopgap measure during a health crisis nor bolted on as an afterthought when hospitals are inundated with chronic loads. The COVID-19 pandemic has brought us a narrow window of opportunity to build more resilient health systems. We look forward to seeing how Singapore leverages on primary care to safeguard the health of Singaporeans in both crises and peace time.
