On this programme, we look into a forum organised by a local think tank that brought together experts across different fields. They explored building an assessment framework for healthcare innovation and developing mechanisms for cancer and rare diseases.
After the break, a US scientist shares the quirky way he used social media to fund his marmot research.
And finally, we speak with representatives of a local NGO about a project that connects ethnic minority elderly with social support services.
