We are delighted to share the final report from the “Enhancing Telehealth in Singapore” programme, organised by NUS Saw Swee Hock School of Public Health (SSHSPH), in partnership with Temasek Foundation.
This initiative brought together healthcare leaders, clinicians, researchers, policymakers and administrators to examine the opportunities, challenges, and innovations in telehealth. The report summarises key insights, discussions, and recommendations from the telehealth seminars and workshops organised in 2023 and 2024, with the goal of advancing telehealth in Singapore. The report offers a thorough overview of Singapore’s evolving telehealth landscape, addressing themes such as:
- Benefits and risks of telehealth
- Patient and caregiver-centred design
- Regulatory progress
- Systems integration and digital infrastructure
- Telehealth’s contribution to pandemic preparedness and long-term care
- Future of telehealth
It also outlines practical strategies, challenges, and opportunities for integrating telehealth within the broader healthcare system.
