SINGAPORE : The Dubai Government is set to procure services from Singapore's public and private sectors under a new agreement signed on Wednesday.

The pact will see the Singapore Cooperation Enterprise (SCE) providing advisory services and knowledge transfer on areas such as health, education, urban planning and integrated government.

The SCE is already working on an e-health strategy and implementation with the Dubai Department of Health Authority.

The SCE is a government agency formed by the Trade and Industry and Foreign Affairs Ministries in May 2006. It was set up to respond effectively to the many foreign requests to tap on Singapore's development experience.

SCE works closely with Singapore's 15 ministries and over 60 statutory boards to tailor possible solutions to match the foreign parties' needs. - CNA /ls
