NUS Alumni Discuss Healthcare Costs and Mental Health at 2026 Lunch Dialogue
Published
The National University of Singapore (NUS) held its President's Lunch Dialogue with alumni in 2026. The event brought together graduates and university leaders to talk about health issues that affect people in Singapore.
One of the main topics was the rising cost of healthcare. Participants also discussed national health initiatives, including Diabetes Singapore and Healthier SG. Healthier SG is a national programme that focuses on preventing illness and helping people stay healthy over the long term.
The discussions also covered youth mental health. This topic is important for many families and schools in Singapore, as more young people seek support for stress and emotional wellbeing. Other issues were raised during the dialogue, but the available report does not give full details about them.
The event shows how NUS is working with its alumni to discuss healthcare challenges and policies. Alumni who work in health and related fields can share their knowledge and experience, which may help shape future discussions on public health in Singapore.
