Abstract:

 This study provides a systematic analysis of Singapore's healthcare system reforms in the context of rising global healthcare services demand and mounting pressure on resource allocation. Focusing on four key dimensions—national precision medicine strategy, the Regional Health System (RHS), internationalized medical talents, and multi-tiered healthcare financing framework—the paper examines the institutional mechanisms underlying Singapore's efforts to build an efficient, coordinated, and sustainable healthcare system. Building on these experiences, the study further explores their implications for healthcare reform in China, particularly in advancing precision medicine, constructing a population health–oriented service delivery system, optimizing the supply-side structure of medical talent, and improving the multi-tiered healthcare security system. The findings suggest that government coordination, cross-institutional collaboration, phased policy implementation, and digital governance are core mechanisms for enhancing healthcare quality and improving the efficiency of resource allocation. Drawing on Singapore's governance logic, this study offers institutional insights for promoting high-quality healthcare development in China and policy references for advancing a more equitable, continuous, and sustainable healthcare system.
