And Empowering The Population

24,August 2019(Sat) 8:30~17:30

What is IHCC

Currently, Singapore is rapidly moving towards an aging society. It is estimated that Singaporeans over 65 years of age will account for over 20% of the total population in year 2030. This symposium was created in mind to tackle the aging situation by incorporating the insights of health care experts and spurring new intricate discussion and ideas. This sharing platform aims to inform and promote new technologies,services and contribute to tackling the aging crisis.
Previously known as JSIP (Japan Singapore Inter-Professional Collaboration), the annual seminar began in 2013, with 5 symposiums held in the past. From the last year, the symposium also opened its doors to Finnish speakers, who have in-depth experience in social welfare.
Similarly, we will invite speakers and also companies from Finland as we believe it will be a valuable learning opportunity to have more nations on board. As such, JSIP will be rebranded to “International Health & Care Collaboration”, in line with our vision to make way for more nations in the future!
