Over the next few months, Singapore is welcoming delegates and participants to a series of pioneering events for the biomedical and healthcare sector. Highlight events include The 9th Asia Pacific Evidence-Based Medicine & Nursing Workshop and Conference (January 18 -21, 2011) and the Inaugural Asian Conference on Integrated Care (25 -26 February, 2011) and Singapore Palliative Care Conference (March 4 — 5, 2011)
With its internationally-accredited healthcare facilities, skilled medical expertise and competitive prices, Singapore has long attracted medical travellers from all over the world. Every year, about400,000 international patients visit Singapore for a whole range of healthcare services. Whether their needs are basic or complex, patients find assurance in Singapore's world-class healthcare system which emphasises safety and pushes the boundaries of excellence.
“Together with other Singapore government agencies, local associations, academia and research institutions, STB works closely with event planners and organisers to co-create innovative and content-driven platforms to successfully execute these ideas,” said Mr. Oliver Chong, Director, Conventions & Meetings, Singapore Tourism Board.
Asia’s Leading Medical Hub
With Singapore fast-gaining ground as the nucleus for top-notch biomedical research, technology, manufacturing, pharmaceutics and healthcare services, many of the world's best known pharmaceutical, medical technology and biotechnology companies have set up their manufacturing and research bases here. Others, such as John Hopkins and The West Clinic, have also set up medical centres in Singapore to receive local and international patients.
The influx of renowned specialists and biomedical scientists has enhanced Singapore's medical offerings and operational effectiveness. In addition, an extensive range of clinical services provided by inter-disciplinary teams working in an integrated network of healthcare institutions is available.
The combination of excellent healthcare infrastructure, availability of skilled medical professionals and the latest medical technology has enabled Singapore to remain cutting-edge in its healthcare services delivery. These contribute to make Singapore the medical hub of Asia.
