Better health delivery services in Asia through improved Research, Governance and Sustainable Financing
NIHA is a new integrative initiative to improve public health and healthcare delivery in Asia.
It is coordinated by the NUS Global Asia Institute (NUS-GAI), in collaboration with the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine and the NUS Business School. NIHA will also collaborate with other institutions in Singapore and internationally with the relevant expertise. |
| NIHA is made possible with a funding of S$17 million over 10 years from the GSK-EDB Trust Fund. It was announced by Singapore Health Minister Mr Khaw Boon Wan on 21 July 2010 at the East Asia Health Policy Dialogue, a symposium organised at the sidelines of the ASEAN Health Ministers Meeting. |
