SINGAPORE, Sept. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Economist Enterprise will host the 6th Future of Health Asia on September 29th at the Grand Hyatt Singapore. This premier event convenes over 500 industry, medical and government leaders to address the structural forces reshaping healthcare across the region.
The 2026 programme addresses the practical realities of health system transformation at a time when rising costs, ageing demographics and expanding technologies strain existing models. Attendees will engage with senior leaders to discuss sustainable healthcare financing, the integration of AI into clinical workflows, decentralised care delivery and scaling diagnostic infrastructure.
Speaking ahead of the event, Charles Ross, head of policy and insights, Asia-Pacific at Economist Enterprise, said: “I’m delighted to be chairing Future of Health Asia again. Over a busy day of panels, interviews and case studies, we’ll explore the structural changes redefining healthcare systems and the innovations enabling progress. We will look more closely at the forces that could reshape medicine by 2035 and examine how Asian health systems can afford to support rapidly ageing populations. I’ll also be asking what we have really learnt since covid-19—and whether we will be better prepared when the next outbreak hits. I look forward to seeing you in Singapore.”
