What do drumming performances, green spaces and artificial intelligence have in common? While seemingly unrelated, they work together to improve health outcomes amongst our residents. By tackling issues such as social isolation, designing physical spaces to promote healthier lifestyles, and empowering health and social care professionals to leverage new technologies and innovative approaches, we can better address the #healthcare challenges of today and the future. We are pleased to share that SingHealth Community Hospitals (SCH) has been designated as the World Health Organization (WHO) Collaborating Centre for Social Prescribing – the first of its kind in the world. In partnership with WHO, SCH will advance #socialprescribing globally in the areas of capacity building, collaboration, and #research. #SingHealth has also signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Singapore University of Social Sciences (SUSS) and the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) to collectively address critical areas in #populationhealth such as ageing-in-place, brain health and cognition, and social isolation. These key events took place at the inaugural Asia Pacific Population Health Conference and the 2nd Asia Pacific Social Prescribing Conference. Organised by SingHealth, SUSS and SUTD, the conferences explored innovative approaches to make our cities more age-friendly and inclusive towards a healthier future for urban populations worldwide. Held on 28 and 29 November 2024, the conferences brought together over 800 health and social care professionals, policymakers, researchers and students in a lively exchange of ideas. #bewellwithsinghealth
