Top healthcare initiatives, providers celebrated at Healthcare Asia Awards 2024

Winners in the awards programme were recognised at an awards dinner in Singapore.

The field of healthcare is booming with innovation, with advancements transforming how patients are treated and care is delivered. These innovations hold the potential to improve outcomes, reduce costs, and personalise healthcare experiences.

To shine a spotlight on these exceptional hospitals and initiatives, the Healthcare Asia Magazine is proud to name the winners of its awards programmes – Healthcare Asia Awards, Healthcare Asia Pharma Awards, and Healthcare Asia Medtech Awards – with an awards dinner on 26 March at Marina Bay Sands Expo and Convention Centre, Singapore.

The awards programmes seek to laud Asian healthcare providers that have pushed boundaries when it comes to patient care, whilst leaving a lasting impact on their local communities. It is also a platform to acknowledge hospitals, clinics, medtech, pharma, and other healthcare companies that have showcased unwavering dedication to innovation.

Together, we have mitigated challenges, pioneered innovations and remained focussed on our mission of providing the best and world-class care to our patients. Thank you all. Thank you Healthcare Asia for this incredible honour.”
