HEALTHCARE is one of the growth sectors that the Community on the Future Economy (CFE) is actively exploring as Singapore is well positioned to capture opportunities from new healthcare trends, Trade and Industry (Industry) Minister S Iswaran said on Thursday.

Noting that the trends are driving the advent of new healthcare paradigms, Mr Iswaran said: "The provision of healthcare is moving beyond the hospital to the community. This involves reshaping health delivery systems to better integrate care settings from hospitals to include homes and other long-term care providers."
