The strategy of the company, which has a long-standing partnership with Singapore for 65 years, is in line with the Republic’s future direction, guest of honour Minister for Trade and Industry, S Iswaran said at the opening ceremony on 19-May-16.
“Philip’s transformation into a health and wellness company, with a growing emphasis on innovation and value creation is very much aligned with our imperatives for the future of Singapore’s economy. And it will foster a deeper partnership between Philips and Singapore,” Mr Iswaran said.
New healthcare paradigms include healthcare moving beyond the hospital to the community, patients, caregivers and physicians better enabled by technology, and an increasing emphasis on preventive healthcare.
