Yesterday evening after the Budget 2026 announcement by PM Wong, Dr Clive Tan, Senior Consultant, Epidemiology and Preventive Medicine, TTSH joined CNA938 to reflect on the Singapore Budget 2026 and what it means for the health of our nation.
The conversation focused on the strong push for AI and keeping Singaporeโs ageing workforce healthy and active, strengthening senior volunteerism, and shaping a โBlue Zone Singaporeโ where growing older means living well, with purpose. Good health in our golden years is not just about longevity, but about staying engaged, contributing meaningfully, and thriving in the community.
Dr Tan also shared why continued healthcare investment matters. Investing in infrastructure and building capabilities in anticipation of future population needs helps to support healthy ageing and enhance quality of life. And for persons with disabilities, the health sector plays an important role in ensuring inclusivity and support their changing needs across life stages.
Weโre proud to share that Dr Clive Tan from Tan Tock Seng Hospital will be featured on CNA938โs Post-Budget Special this evening.
Tune in at 6pm to catch Dr Tanโs insights and commentary following the Budget broadcast, as he shares perspectives relevant to healthcare and the community.

For just two more days, TTSH is hosting an art exhibition by Art Action & Mr Tan Kay Nguan. Every contribution helps extend care and support to those in need via our TTSH Community Fund.
Yesterday, we hosted NTUC Singapore's Deputy Secretary-General Mr Desmond Tan ้ๅฝๆ and members of the Healthcare Services Employees' Union (HSEU) to share more on how our hospital continue to engage and support the workforce through innovation, automation, and job redesign.
DSG Tan visited our Smart Ward to learn more about how technologies such as the PreSAGE Smart Predictive Patient Monitoring system assist our workforce in managing labour and time-intensive tasks, especially the senior workforce.
Our Chief Human Resource Office Ms Lillian Ho shared, "Our older workers bring deep experience, care, and stability to the hospital. By redesigning roles, integrating AI and technology, and creating flexible work options, we continue to empower our workforce to thrive and deliver high quality care. Our partnership with NTUC and HSEU has been instrumental in accelerating this transformation."

Through their collaboration, average stays fell from 4.1 to 1.4 days for partial knee replacements, and from 4.9 to 2.8 days for total knee replacements โ numbers that have been sustained over five years.
