| Funder: | World Health Organisation, National University of Singapore |
|---|---|
| Duration: | 2024 - 2026 |
| Lead Investigator: | Jose M Valderas |

This study aims to develop and assess the metric properties of a suite of tools for measuring patient experiences of care in primary care settings.
Effective coverage for universal health coverage (EC-UHC)
| Funder: | National University of Singapore |
|---|---|
| Duration: | 2025 - 2026 |
| Lead Investigator: | Josefien van Olmen |
| Contributors | Loraine Seng |
Our work examines how effective coverage evolves in relation to the functioning of primary health care systems, with a particular focus on countries in the Asia Pacific region. The overall objective is to generate policy-relevant evidence on whether and how structural determinants and health care delivery process of PHC translate into real health gains. We pursue this through a cross-country longitudinal analyses of PHC outcomes and PHC policies and their impact on structure and process. The programme is explicitly designed to inform policy choices on PHC strengthening. It is developed through close collaboration between academic health systems researchers and regional and global policy partners, including WHO-linked initiatives and ASEAN stakeholders, to ensure scientific rigour and practical relevance.
National burden of 12 mental disorders in member countries of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN): A systematic analysis of the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) Study 2021
| Funder: | National University of Singapore |
|---|---|
| Duration: | 2024 - 2025 |
| Lead Investigator: | Marie Ng |
| Contributors | Jose M Valderas, Yee Wei Lim |
This study aims to compare GBD indicators for mental illness in the 10 countries included in ASEAN to highlight regional and national trends as well as identify populations with particular needs. Findings from the study will be useful for policy makers, researchers, and clinicians.
