Healthcare in a Pandemic #2: Funding the System

This is the second episode of our short series on Healthcare in a Pandemic with public policy specialist, Dr Khor Swee Kheng. On today’s episode, we’ll be looking at how we can ensure sustainable financing for our healthcare system, especially considering the pressures that the system is facing not only in addressing existing health issues among our population but also in its capacity to deal with COVID-19 and other future health threats.
