Committee of Supply 2022 debate, Day 6: Tan Wu Meng on 'fit for purpose' healthcare system
As COVID-19 tests Singapore, the country must prepare its healthcare system and test its plans for the future "before the future tests us", said MP Tan Wu Meng. Speaking in Parliament on Wednesday (Mar 9), he highlighted three areas which need special attention and stronger support to survive the stress tests. These are better care for an ageing population amidst better care coordination, better access to treatments, and better support for healthcare workers and frontliners. He stressed the need to keep the healthcare system "fit for purpose, not just for today, but for tomorrow".
