Find out who won at this year's Healthcare Asia Awards and Healthcare Asia Pharma Awards
The event was held via video conferencing that started last 15 April.
The COVID-19 pandemic has created a huge challenge for the healthcare industry. From the fear of contamination to lack of manpower and available spaces for patients, the crisis has debilitated the industry's foundations and pushed many of their boundaries to their limits.
Yet despite this, there have been a number of remarkable hospitals, healthcare companies, and pharma companies that have risen to the challenge by innovating and reinventing initiatives that made a positive difference not just in the lives of their patients, but also to the people who work for them.
In recognition of companies that have made significant strides in these areas, Healthcare Asia has honoured these enterprises by introducing the winners through a virtual awards presentation that started last 15 April and upcoming face-to-face presentations at Conrad Centennial Singapore on May 27.
The winning companies were also accompanied by interviews as they shared their thoughts about winning the prestigious awards programme.
This year's nominations were chosen by an elite panel of judges consisting of Chris Hardesty, Director, Healthcare & Life Sciences Practice at KPMG; Partha Basumatary, Director, Life Sciences & Healthcare, Strategy Lead at EY - Parthenon; Dr. Stephanie Allen, Global Healthcare Leader at Deloitte; and Damien Duhamel, Co-founder & Managing Partner at YCP Solidiance.
Healthcare Asia editor-in-chief and publisher Tim Charlton gives his warm congratulations to this year's awardees. "The winners prove how challenges can serve as springboards that spur innovation and growth. We commend their contribution in driving the industry forward, and recognise their hard work and commitment to serving the public.”
