DPM Heng Swee Keat reiterated the importance of innovation to help the nation overcome the “Iron Triangle” of healthcare – cost, accessibility and quality. He was addressing the attendees of CHI Innovate 2022 via a recorded speech to open the annual flagship conference for the Centre for Healthcare Innovation (CHI).
Heng Swee Keat is the Deputy Prime Minister and Coordinating Minister for Economic Policies.
Noting that innovation is key to overcoming the “iron triangle” of cost, accessibility and quality of healthcare, DPM Heng said that just as important as research and innovation is the translation of innovation into impact – which corresponded with the theme for this year’s CHI Innovate: “The Road from Innovation to Impact”.
DPM shared three ways of achieving greater impact in healthcare innovation.
- Innovation at the systems level
- Innovation in the use of technology
- Fostering an innovative workplace culture
Check out the details of DPM Heng’s speech from the script below.

tech4travel: The BoostCharge Pro 65W wall charger from Belkin is a compact yet powerful charger that is really useful when travellng.
I’ve been using this 65W GaN charger for a few weeks now and it’s really handy when I work outside of home or office.
At home and at the office, my mainstay charger is the Belkin BoostCharge Pro 4-Port 108W GaN Charger.
Once I hit the road, my charger of choice is the Belkin BoostCharge Pro 65W Dual USB-C GaN Wall Charger with PPS.
The charger comes with a 2m power cable in the box.
This is because of how compact and lightweight it is.
I normally just leave it in the bag and reach for it when I settle down in a cafe or at a meeting room.
The powerful 65W wall charger comes with two USB-C ports for charging two devices simultaneously.
The top port is able to charge a MacBook Pro at 65W when used alone.
When both ports are in use, the top port pumps out 45W while the bottom outputs a maximum of 20W.
