Healthcare System: Adapting Amid Challenges

Public health faced ongoing testing in 2024, especially with the emergence of new infectious threats. After COVID-19's peak, Singapore gradually relaxed measures, yet remaining vigilant, especially with the discovery of tuberculosis clusters in Jalan Bukit Merah and the arrival of new viral strains like Emyo Clay 2.

The healthcare system demonstrated resilience, utilizing contact tracing, rapid testing, and community outreach to contain outbreaks. Infrastructure upgrades include buffer stocks of critical supplies, expanded quarantine facilities, and strengthening the healthcare workforce.
