I wonder what is the ranking now if they look at Singapore now.
Singapore Health Minister Khaw Boon Wan has done a really good job since he took over from Lim Hng Kiang in 2004. Beside building new hospitals such as Khoo Teck Puat Hospital in the north and Jurong Hospital in the west to cater for the increasing aging population, MOH has also increase the no of subsidized bed in major hospitals across the island.
MOH has also lower the subsidies for higher income group and PR (might not seems to be a good thing for some) so that the lower income population will enjoy more subsidizes from the government. Recently government have also launch several free health screening program specifically for elderly citizens and women (breast cancer).
Beside that, Singapore government is also building new parks and linking them with walk ways to encourage Singaporeans to keep themselves active and fit.
