Patient Advocacy Groups (PAGs) are critical in shaping patient-centered healthcare policies and practices. However, their effectiveness can vary significantly due to diverse social attitudes and legal restrictions. Sandpiper Health's latest survey of PAGs in Australia, Mainland China, Hong Kong, and Singapore uncovers significant insights into healthcare access, digital health services, and industry engagement. The report offers valuable recommendations to empower PAGs and bridge the gap between them and the healthcare industry.

We are proud to partner with Schneider Electric and the Institute of Singapore Chartered Accountants (ISCA) to launch the report “Counting to 3: Navigating Singapore’s Emissions Journey Together”. This pivotal study captures the perspectives of over 500 of Singapore's senior business leaders from a diverse range of industries and company sizes. As we approach the mid point of the decade of action, there remains significant work to do to meet global emissions targets. Managing #Scope3Emissions represents the final and most challenging frontier for almost all companies globally.    💡Some of the key findings include:   - Nine out of 10 Singapore companies are not fully measuring and analysing their Scope 3 emissions.  - Less than four in 10 business leaders claim to have a strong understanding of Scope 3 emissions. - Only 27% believe their organisation’s Scope 3 emissions targets are highly achievable. - Just 32% believe their net zero targets are achievable.   The report was launched yesterday at an event attended by over 50 industry representatives from both the public and private sectors with a strong common interest in #sustainability and #emissions management. Kelly Johnston, our COO, moderated a panel discussion joined by esteemed leaders including Yoon Kim, Cluster President Singapore, and Brunei of Schneider Electric, Wai Geat Kang, Divisional Director, Professional Standards of Institute of Singapore Chartered Accountants (ISCA), Kelyn Tan, Head of Corporate Sustainability of UOB, Eu-Lin Fang, Sustainability and Climate Change Practice Leader of PwC Singapore, and Andrew Buay, Vice President, Group Sustainability of Singtel.

Sandpiper Health's latest Patient Advocacy Group (PAG) survey reveals that many respondents view research and development (R&D) as the most significant aspect of the pharmaceutical industry’s role in healthcare. However, they also advocate for greater transparency and involvement in the drug development and decision-making processes. Effective #communication is key to bridging the gap between the pharmaceutical industry and PAGs, ultimately leading to more #patientcenteredcare.

#DigitalHealth services, such as telemedicine and health apps, are transforming healthcare. However, Sandpiper Health's latest PAG survey reveals that a lack of digital literacy, insufficient customisation, and concerns over privacy and data are significant barriers to accessibility. The data suggests that improving communication and education is crucial for enhancing the accessibility and effectiveness of digital health services. And it is imperative to customise and adapt digital health services to accommodate diverse cultural backgrounds.

Sandpiper Health’s 2024 Patient Advocacy Insights Report reveals critical barriers to #healthcareaccess across Asia Pacific. 🔹 Affordability: Two-thirds of survey respondents find healthcare services unaffordable. Inadequate insurance coverage and lack of awareness about options make timely medical care difficult. 🔹 Social Disparities: Social status and wealth influence healthcare access. In Mainland China, wealthier patients can seek overseas treatment. In Singapore, subsidised care often misses those in need, while in Hong Kong, ethnic minorities face language barriers. Rural areas typically have lower medical service standards. 🔹 Reliable Information: Patients struggle to obtain accurate, understandable health information, even from providers. Misinformation online complicates their ability to participate in treatment decisions, with support group chats sometimes being the only reliable source. Addressing these issues is essential to improve healthcare access for all.
