The four-day event, which also saw participants tune in virtually, was kicked off by Duke-NUS Dean Professor Thomas Coffman and SingHealth Group CEO Professor Ivy Ng who welcomed the AMAC members as well as the many participants from across the campus.
This year, the AMAC panel welcomed three new members—Professor Gillian Harvey, Flinders University; Professor Margaret Chan, Founding Dean of Vanke School of Public Health, Tsinghua University; and Professor Victor Dzau, President of the National Academy of Medicine—who joined AMAC Chairman Emeritus Regius Professor Sir Keith Peters, University of Cambridge and members Professor Arthur Rubenstein, University of Pennsylvania and Professor Sam Hawgood, Chancellor of the University of California San Francisco.
As the programme unfolded, the Council engaged in insightful dialogues and tea sessions with various stakeholders from the AMC, centring on three main themes: population health in an ageing population, healthcare innovation as well as the importance of interdisciplinary partnerships.
