The second Raffles Dialogue, hosted last week by the National University of Singapore schools of medicine, public health and public policy along with the National University Health System (NUHS), focused on “The Critical Role of Innovation” in the context of the broader theme of “Human Well-being and Security in 2030”.<\/p>\n

It was attended by more than 100 global health experts and international participants.
