Text The affordability of health care and the hospital bed crunch were the key concerns of participants at a government feedback forum yesterday evening.
Health Minister Gan Kim Yong assured the audience of mainly senior citizens and young professionals that health care will remain affordable, but reminded them that staying healthy is the key to keeping costs low.
Speaking at the session at the Health Promotion Board building, Mr Gan said the Healthcare 2020 Masterplan is "not enough".
"We want to help all Singaporeans stay healthy as long as possible, and as much as possible," he said. "Because if all of us fall sick and don't take care of our health, we will have to continue to build more and more hospitals, and the costs will keep going up."
