About the Event
This hybrid event, organised by the Singapore Research Nexus at NUS Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences Research Division, spotlights NUS Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences and NUS Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine academics’ research and insights on health, ageing, and policy in Singapore.
The panelists will speak about projects tied to ageing, health, and healthcare, matters of increased importance given heightened risks to older Singaporeans from a variety of diseases, the challenges of a growing population of senior citizens, and how these issues could potentially be addressed through policy.
