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.
