AGP Executive Report

Last update: 27 minutes ago

Longevity & Prevention: Health Minister Ong Ye Kung says Singapore is shifting from longer life to longer healthspan, with health tech, AI and preventive care key to a “longevity economy.” Aging & Lifestyle Research: A long Singapore study links drinking coffee or tea in midlife to lower frailty risk in older age, with stronger physical function markers later on. Digital Health (Fertility): Natural Cycles gets its sixth FDA clearance for an updated AI fertility algorithm, aiming to improve “Green Days” while keeping the same safety profile. Healthcare Costs & Insurance: Integrated Shield Plans face rising medical-cost inflation, pushing insurers and employers to rethink how premiums and care are managed. Workforce & Pay: Salary growth in Singapore holds at 3.9% as employers tighten budgets and focus on critical roles. Demography: Births in 2025 fell 11.4% to 29,864, the lowest since independence—adding pressure as the population ages. Local Safety Incident: A person was taken to hospital after a fire at a MacPherson HDB flat; CPR was started and the cause is under investigation. Wellness Food Spot: Souper Tang returns to Singapore at Raffles City on 29 July with 15 signature herbal soups and Singapore-exclusive limited-time dishes.
