SS: Health Minister sums up Singapore's healthcare approach: extracts of a speech
This link to the Youtube video allows you to watch the same video above with captioning. Good if you want to take notes!
SS: Fundamentals of Singapore Healthcare system: an interview with the Health Minister
Pretty much sums up the Sec 3 textbook!
SS: Singapore's healthcare saves money and lives
Video post by World Focus on Singapore's health care system - largely positive but offers some criticism.
SS: How much nations spend on healthcare
As a comparison, Singapore's spending is just under 4% of GDP, about Intl $1300 (USD) per person.
How do we fare in terms of health and living standards? No. 1 or 2 in Infant Mortality, top ten in life expectancy, among the lowest Maternal Mortality rate in the world.
Personal note: I rather be sick here than in the US...
