Committee of Supply 2025 debate, Day 6: He Ting Ru on making the promise of precision medicine a reality
Developments in precision medicine have the potential to benefit groups and individuals through early detection, refined diagnoses and tailored treatment, said MP He Ting Ru. She asked whether and how Singapore’s efforts in personalised medicine will take into account gender gaps in medical research and treatment, and how the government will ensure that advances translate into real benefits for those who need them most. In parliament on Friday (Mar 7), Ms He also called for a long-term plan to regulate the mental health industry, while ensuring that barriers to entry are not too high. She added that having real-time data about the efficacy of mental health services will allow practitioners to evaluate how they are performing as well as inform the authorities in setting standards on service quality.
