Pandemics in Singapore, 1819–2022: Lessons for the Age of COVID-19

Thursday 2 May, 11:30 am - 12:30 am

Singapore has faced many pandemics over the centuries, from plague, smallpox and cholera to influenza and novel coronaviruses. By examining how different governments responded, this book considers what we can learn from their experiences. Public health strategies in the city-state were often affected by issues of ethnicity and class, as well as failure to take heed of key learnings from previous outbreaks. Pandemics are a recurrent and normal feature of the human experience. Alongside medical innovation and evidence-based policymaking, the study of history is also crucial in preparing for future pandemics.

Join authors Dr Kah Seng Loh and Professor Li Yang Hsu, along with Professor Ben Marais of the Sydney Infectious Diseases Institute at the University of Sydney, as they discuss this relevant and timely issue.
