Singapore adds $13.2m to pandemic fund

This brings the city-state’s total contribution to $26.4m (US$20m).

Minister for Health Ong Ye Kung has announced Singapore’s additional $13.2 m (US$10m) contribution to The Pandemic Fund at a pledging event held during the G20 Joint Finance and Health Ministerial Meeting in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

This brings the city-state’s total contribution to $26.4m (US$20m).

The Pandemic Fund was launched in 2022 to boost global pandemic preparedness and response, especially in low- and middle-income countries, and strengthen the global health system.

During the event, Ong suggested an increased focus on global surveillance and less developed countries' pandemic preparedness to maximise the fund.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
