OPENING ADDRESS BY MR LEE YI SHYAN,MINISTER OF STATE FOR TRADE AND INDUSTRY, AT THE CHINA-SINGAPORE FORUM ON CONTEMPORARY HEALTHCARE MANAGEMENT, 10 SEPTEMBER 2006, 8.45 AM AT SHANGHAI INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION CENTRE, SHANGHAI

Introduction

Ladies and Gentlemen. Good morning to all of you. It gives me great pleasure to be here today and to welcome you to this Forum on Contemporary Healthcare Management, organized by International Enterprise Singapore together with SGP International Management Academy.

We just held the China-Singapore Healthcare Forum in Xiamen on 8 Sep whereby the two countries shared, on a macro-level, views and experience on the challenges faced in the healthcare sector and the development and management of our healthcare systems. Some of you may have attended that forum. Today’s forum takes it one step further by allowing Singapore healthcare players to share with you their experience in the planning and design, maintenance and management of hospitals as well as the provision of supporting services to these hospitals against the backdrop of key trends in this sector. I hope that through this, we will foster an even closer working relationship and promote collaboration of companies from China and Singapore.
