Launched in 2003, SingaporeMedicine is a multi-agency government-industry partnership committed to strengthening Singapore's position as Asia's leading medical hub, and promoting Singapore as a world-class destination for advanced patient care.
Led by Singapore's Ministry of Health, SingaporeMedicine is supported by three government agencies, namely:
 |
The Economic Development Board promotes new investments and develops capabilities in the healthcare industry. |
 |
International Enterprise Singapore facilitates the growth and expansion of Singapore's healthcare players overseas.
|
 |
The Singapore Tourism Board spearheads the branding and marketing of Singapore's healthcare services overseas, nurtures the medical travel market and promotes the development of overseas referral channels to strengthen the seamless delivery of quality healthcare to international patients. |
In 2006, some 410,000 patients travelled to Singapore specifically for healthcare. From 2012, Singapore hopes to attract 1 million medical travellers annually.
