Healthcare systems across high-income economies [1] are plagued by similar challenges, including an aging population, the increasing burden of chronic disease, and spiraling healthcare costs. David Kindig and Greg Stoddart defined population health as "the health outcomes of a group of individuals, including the distribution of such outcomes within the group" [2], and there has been a deliberate move towards population health management to address much of these challenges. Population health management efforts do not just target populations that are sick or the hospitalized ("patient" population). It also involves ensuring that healthy populations receive preventive services to avoid onset of disease. In this editorial we consider this global move towards population health management in the context of Singapore's HealthierSG initiative. HealthierSG was announced by the Minister for Health in March 2022 and is a step forward in Singapore's population health journey [3].
