New ideas, shared challenges, and valuable regional perspectives came together in Thailand for the workshop on Paying for Precision Medicine Sustainably in Asia. The discussions highlighted common challenges in evidence generation, financing and reimbursement, social, regulatory, and infrastructure for better #PrecisionMedicine access in Asia, as well as opportunities for regional collaboration and shared learning. Thank you to our partners at SSHSPH NUS for co-organising this workshop, and to all participants for the insightful discussions. We look forward to continuing the conversation.

💧 Clean water is not only a basic need, but also a health policy priority.

🎥 This documentary highlights how addressing water access requires more than technology alone. It calls for evidence-informed policy, system-level thinking, and cross-sector collaboration.
