Emphasizing the crucial regulatory role of governments can be a driving force in advancing the digitalization of health systems. Jeremy Lim, the co-founder and CEO of Singapore-based microbiome insights company AMILI, has long been a proponent of this approach. He is gearing up to share his insights on fostering public-private partnerships for large-scale digital health transformation at the upcoming HIMSS25 Asia-Pacific (APAC) Conference in July.
A seasoned surgeon and public health expert with experience in the UK and the US, Lim provides advisory services to various health tech firms and consults on healthcare management and financing for the Singaporean government, as well as international bodies like the World Bank, Asian Development Bank, and World Health Organization. He also played a key role in establishing Oliver Wyman’s Asia health and life sciences practice.
Additionally, Lim serves as an adjunct associate professor at the National University of Singapore and Monash University Malaysia.
