The Singapore Convening was jointly organised by the PMAC Consortium, the International Health Policy Program Foundation (IHPP), the Saw Swee Hock School of Public Health at the National University of Singapore, and the Tsinghua Vanke School of Public Health. The event brought together former health ministers, senior policymakers, WHO representatives, regional financiers, civil society, academia, the private sector, UN agencies, and development partners, reflecting a strong commitment to multisectoral engagement in shaping the future of global health.
The Dialogue strengthens Asia-Pacific leadership and influence in global health reform processes underway at the WHO, the G20, and the UN. Guided by systematic research and broad consultation, the Consortium is working to ensure that global health governance reflects the region’s priorities, capacities, and aspirations.
Over three days, participants advanced consensus on critical priorities, including equitable and sustainable health financing, stronger accountability mechanisms, improved data governance, and renewed domestic investment in health systems; all essential for preparedness and health equity.
The outcomes of the Singapore Convening will contribute directly to the global discussions in 2026, positioning Asia and the Pacific as a constructive partner in co-designing a more resilient and inclusive global health architecture.
Together with regional and global partners, NUS continues to champion research and policy innovation to strengthen health systems and improve lives across our region and beyond.
This dialogue formed part of a series of five regional dialogues on global health reform supported by Wellcome.

We thank the Wellcome Trust for supporting this Dialogue and for partnering with the region to build a stronger, more sustainable global health system.
