Defining Tomorrow's Medicine

"No one starts a journey without a destination in mind. although medicine is an inexact science, we as healthcare professionals, have the obligation to find our ways through all the variables before us, and work towards the best possible outcome. That is the reason why patients come to us in the first place. And our end goal is always to improve the well-being and welfare of those who have placed their trust in us.

As a leader in academic medicine, we must be innovators and pace-settlers who can raise the bar on the clinical outcomes, research into disease cures, and the sharing of clinical wisdom.

True healthcare is a service that can only be provided by professionals who heed their calling-people with the special ability to heal the body, comfort the mind and soothe the soul. But we also draw inspiration from people around us, and the patients we serve.".........Group CEO, SingHealth, Prof Tan Ser Kiat


"He who studies medicine without books sails an uncharted sea, but he who studies medicine without patients does not go to sea at all."-----------Sir William Osler
