A Strategic Platform Advancing Patient-Centered Health Systems

The 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. 

Summit Highlights
Shape the future of patient-centered health
Jointly with health system leaders, advance patient-centered policies and solutions.
Engage and collaborate across sectors

Align across sectors to define patient-centered health system priorities
Initiate early dialogue on policy, financing, and care delivery challenges
Co-develop initiatives that drive long-term system sustainability and strengthen patient trust
