Shared Care And Outreach Programmes
Besides caring for local patients, we receive patients from the region including Malaysia, Indonesia, Brunei, Myanmar, Vietnam, Bangladesh, Philippines, China and the United Arab Emirates.
We regularly run outreach programmes to develop cancer care in developing countries. We collaborate with paediatric oncologists from the region which not only benefits patient care but also serves as an excellent learning platform for our doctors. In addition, we organise an annual Childhood Cancer Workshop in conjunction with the St Jude-VIVA Forum in paediatric oncology for training and clinical updates on childhood cancer for the region.
