Healthcare in Singapore is not cheap, and those rising costs are hitting both patients and insurance companies. Genevieve Cua speaks to Dr Jeremy Lim, CEO & co-founder of healthcare start-up AMILI, to discuss these growing pressures in the country’s healthcare eco-system, and what needs to be done to tame higher costs. They also discuss the evolving insurance market in the face of better technology, and about moving upstream, shifting away from treatment to preventative care to create a healthier population.
