Towards Future Healthcare
Commemorating MOHT's 3rd Anniversary
Message from the Executive Director
MOHT has come a long way in a relatively short time. When we started in 2018, we were tasked to look closely at the fundamental challenges facing our healthcare system, and find solutions to these challenges leveraging advances in data science, digital technologies and medicine.
We forged partnerships with both public and private organisations while maintaining strong links to the Ministry of Health and other government bodies.
With our partners, we launched initiatives such as the Integrated General Hospital model of care, the Primary-Tech Enhanced Care system for select chronic diseases, toolkits for communities and government bodies to promote healthier living, and online resources for mental wellness. Most recently we deployed many solutions in the national fight against COVID-19. Through these initiatives, we also helped build the enablers necessary for at scale adoption.
I would like to thank everyone who has been part of the MOHT journey so far, and we look forward to working together to make a transformative impact on our healthcare system.

Integrated Health Promotion
The InHealth programme focuses on novel strategies to improve health, promote and sustain behaviour change and prevent the onset and progression of disease amongst the population.
Data, Science & Technology
The DST team uses data science, analytics and AI, together with clinical and core teams to develop deployable technologies for our pilots with the view to scale.
