About The Summit

Voices for Health: A Summit to Advance Patient-Centered Health Systems will be held in Singapore. This landmark event aims to convene cross-regional dialogues among diverse stakeholders —including policy experts, decision makers, healthcare providers, PAGs, industry leaders, and payers— to advance a shared vision of health systems anchored in three core pillars:

• Value-based health systems

• Integrated, holistic care across the patient journey

• Patient voice institutionalized in decision-making

The Summit represents the inaugural flagship event of a broader, sustained Patient-Centered Health System Strengthening Initiative. This multi-year platform will serve as a precompetitive space for ongoing collaboration, knowledge exchange, and co-creation of solutions across the region.

centered health
