We should bring out infant and
maternal mortality rates to single
digits
Infant, neonatal and perinatal mortality rates
in Singapore
Infant, neonatal and perinatal mortality rates are reliable
indices of the health status and delivery of health care in a
country. These rates have been declining in Singapore since
World War II, and presently have become comparable to those
of many developing countries. The pattern has also changed;
postneonatal mortality has fallen markedly, resulting in
neonatal mortality accounting for 75% of infant mortality, and
first week mortality for 85% of neonatal mortality. Perinatal
mortality rates have also declined over the years, due mainly
to a decline in the first week mortality rates though a slight
fall in stillbirth rates has also occurred. Further improvements
can be expected in the perinatal and neonatal mortality rates.
As neonatal intensive care improves, the prognosis of the very
small and feeble infants will be brighter even though the
efforts required might be very much greater. Such a challenge
will prove to be very exciting and stimulating, and be an
impetus to the raising of neonatal intensive care to a much
higher level.

SIMILARITY CONTRAST

Same in Singapore and Philippines, they have similar
programs for fighting against malaria like vector
surveillance, but Singapore are more focus on the
transmission of the disease. They do screening tests
for the foreigners who came from malaria endemic
countries, and preventing transmission of people to
mosquito and mosquito to human. While Philippines
are more concerned on giving advocacy and
treatment for malaria, maybe because Philippines has
a large case of malaria than Singapore for the past
years. Since Singapore are now malaria free
announced by the WHO last 1982, therefore they are
only concerned about transmission so that they won’t
have much treatment to conduct.
The Singapore and Philippines has many different
programs to treat HIV in their countries so as to
prevent the said disease. The countries both have
similar programs such as Educating, Counselling,
free testing for HIV. They maybe similar but it also
has its own way on how they do these programs.
Philippines have programs that Singapore doesn’t
have, same as Singapore to Philippines. By reading
articles about how Philippines handle HIV in their
country, they are more focus on giving condoms to
people and making condoms as an education
material during outreach. While Singapore focuses
more on raising awareness and treating HIV.

SINGAPORE
Singapore Green
Plan
- In 1999, a review of this first
green plan was initiated to take
into account new ideas and
concerns that had emerged since
1992. The outcome was the SGP
2012 launched in August 2002.
With the new plan, Singapore
wanted to move beyond just
being clean and green and
towards attaining environmental
sustainability.
-The programs objective is to
ensure that Singapore could
develop an economic growth
model that does not
compromise its environment
PHILIPPINES
Building Momentum
For Low Carbon
Development
- Building Momentum for Low
Carbon Development is a project
undertaken by WWF-Philippines in
partnership with the Philippine
Climate Change Commission
(CCC), WWF-Germany
and WWF-Turkey. The project is
part of the International Climate
Initiative.
The project objectives are:
To develop country specific
multi-sectoral Low
Carbon Plans (LCPs).
To discuss the recommendations
of the LCPs
with decision makers.
To build the expertise of key
civil society
organizations on climate change
mitigation.
HDB Green Towns Biodiversity
Programme Partnerships Project
- HDB aims to reduce it by a
further 15% by 2030. Some of
the key initiatives
include:Reducing energy
consumption with solar panels
and smart LED lighting.
- Piloting a water harvesting
system to recycle rainwater and
mitigate flood risks. Rainwater
collected can be used for
washing of the void decks and
watering of plants.
-This increases green cover and
provides more green spaces for
residents to enjoy.
HDB will continue to push the
frontiers of sustainability and
work with Town Councils to
ensure that our
towns remain highly liveable and
sustainable.
-The BPP is in recognition of the
need to address habitat
fragmentation brought about by
inadequate policies, tools and
capacities to encourage the
participation of local government
units (LGUs) in mainstreaming
biodiversity conservation in local
agricultural landscapes.
-The key intention of this project,
therefore, is to increase the
capacity of the LGUs to
mainstream biodiversity
conservation in production
landscapes/seascapes geared
towards the protection and
enhancement of the quality of the
environment and the sustainable
management of the natural
resources.

Singapore Environmental Sustainability programs ideas has being

used worldwide and they really focusing at maintaining of the
environment as they advances in technology and industries.
Philippines Environmental Sustainability programs copes up with
the programs of other countries and they help the other
countries as well.
