    9 February 2023 – Finland Health delegates consisting of government, public and private partners, visited the Genome Institute of Singapore (GIS) on 9 February. Led by Dr Päivi Sillanaukee, Ambassador for Health and Wellbeing, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the delegation wished to get an overview of the Singapore digital health ecosystem and key stakeholders, and learn how healthcare providers are applying the latest technologies and digital solutions. They also wanted to find out how health data is used for better care, research, and innovation purposes. His Excellency Antti Vänskä, Ambassador of Finland, Embassy of Finland in Singapore, accompanied the visitors.
