The Asian Institute for Healthcare Leadership and Management provides a platform for them to share their experiences.
The Asian Institute for Healthcare Leadership and Management was launched by Foreign Minister Vivian Balakrishnan on Aug 13.
It provides a platform for healthcare professionals in Asian countries to share their experiences and learn from one another. The part-time programme will cover critical areas such as risk management and disease preparedness, and health informatics and digital transformation. In his speech, Dr Balakrishnan, an ophthalmologist by training and a former chief executive of Singapore General Hospital, said there are three fundamental challenges confronting healthcare management: management during a crisis, such as the Covid-19 pandemic; the challenges relating to cost-effectiveness, safety, reliability and resilience; and the impact of developments in other fields on healthcare.
According to Professor Ong Biauw Chi, lead of Asian HEAL, hospitals in Asian countries have already been coming together to share their experiences with one another. The institute formalises the process. Another example cited was that of Aravind Eye Hospital, a private hospital in India that offers free treatment to the poor. The hospital realised that no one took advantage of the complimentary services when they could afford the treatments because “people have pride, that they would pay if they could”.
