Looking into the future, Dr Singh paints a vivid picture of the hospital of tomorrow—a place where technology and human touch harmoniously converge. As we adapt to the changes brought about by the pandemic, Dr Singh outlines the necessary steps to foster a reality in which we can utilize these technologies to create more time for human connection.
