The Saw Swee Hock School of Public Health warmly congratulates our distinguished alumnus and eminent philanthropist Professor Saw Swee Hock on being listed as one of the 48 Heroes of Philanthropy by Forbes Asia.
Currently in its eighth year running, the Heroes of Philanthropy honour roll lists notable philanthropists in the Asia-Pacific region, calling attention to altruists whose contributions have launched new and innovative projects in a wide variety of fields.
As a member of the NUS Board of Trustees, Prof Saw has been recognised for his significant philanthropic contributions to the field of higher education across institutions in Singapore, China, Hong Kong and Britain, including his landmark donation of $30 million to enable the establishment of the Saw Swee Hock School of Public Health and pave the way for the School to become Asia’s leader in public health education, training and research.
