"We are proud to launch the Health Connective Symposium in Singapore. By strengthening relationships between family physicians and private specialists, we are enabling better care coordination, which would result in better patient outcomes and more efficient delivery of care.”

Liaw Yit Ming

CEO, Foundation Healthcare Holdings

“The practice of being a GP is becoming quite complicated. With Health Connective, we want to address low hanging fruit in the industry – streamlining the care coordination process between GPs and specialists.”

Dr Lee Hong Huei

COO, Foundation Healthcare Holdings

Keynote Addresses and Panel Discussions from industry leaders

We welcomed leading healthcare experts who shared their insights on collaboration and care coordination. Engaging keynotes and panel discussions from speakers including Dr Suraj Kumar, Alex Boulton, Dr Mok Boon Rui, Dr Shravan Verma and Dr Sidharth Kachroo focused on building sustainable private sector care models. Their discussions highlighted the challenges and key success factors in coordinated healthcare delivery and explored how regional trends are shaping private healthcare across Asia-Pacific.

“We can’t improve care coordination without technology – it will be vital for the development of continuity of care.”

Dr Suraj Kumar

Vice President, College of Family Physicians Singapore

“A key trend is the shift of care moving out of hospital walls and into ambulatory centres, into communities and homes. There is an expectation amongst consumers that care is going to be seamlessly connected.”

Mr Alex Boulton

Head of Healthcare & Life Sciences, SEA, Bain & Company

Key takeaways from attendees

“...it definitely instills more confidence in doing these procedures in a busy GP clinic setting for my patients and further enhance and optimize my care for them.”

Dr Fadhil Ikbal
Pinnacle Family Clinic

“This was a fantastic platform for us to meet the GPs face-to-face. It was a sharing of knowledge, not just from us to GPs, but a two-way interaction between the GPs and the specialist to share ideas, knowledge and perspectives in terms of patient care. GPs bring on new ideas and perspectives that we perhaps don't really see from our own perspectives, because sometimes we are really siloed in our clinic just dealing with the patients.”

Dr Tay Ze Yun

“It helps us facilitate the GP work. We can talk directly to them and tell them how we're going to manage the patient and how we're going to hand back the patient to them, and tell them how to carry on care with the case. GPs can help us on the ground because they're more in touch with the patients and can find out a lot more about the background of the patient because they've just known the patient for so much longer.”

Dr Desmond Ho
