Singaporeans can now easily access comprehensive and reliable health information specially tailored to cater to the healthcare needs of Asians via a newly launched website portal, Healthxchange (www.healthxchange.com.sg). Supported and launched by SingHealth, Healthxchange provides a trusted channel for participants to bring their healthcare queries and concerns online to qualified healthcare professionals, and exchange information and views on their healthcare needs through interactive user-generated sections.

SingHealth and Fujian Provincial Health Bureau entered a partnership to equip healthcare professionals in Fujian to introduce reforms to the primary care health delivery system in Southern China. This S$2 million training programme is underwritten by a grant of approximately S$660,000 from Temasek Foundation, a Singapore-based philanthropic organisation. Up to 5,500 healthcare professionals in Fujian are expected to benefit from this programme.
