'Arab Health important platform'

DUBAI — Ever since they successfully separated the Nepalese twins who were joined at the head in a milestone operation that lasted nearly 90 hours in 2001, Singapore’s doctors have been at the forefront of many new and innovative medical breakthroughs.

“We are now planning to go beyond immediate neighbours and present our developed health facilities,” said Dr Jason OH Yap, Director, Healthcare Services, Singapore Tourism Board.

“Arab Health is an important platform for our healthcare providers to network with key medical officials and professionals, and to promote their services and new developmental efforts in the region,” he said.

“Whether their needs are basic or complex, patients find reassurance in a world-class healthcare system where the most advanced treatments are delivered by the region’s leading medical professionals,” explained Dr Yap, who is part of a delegation of Singapore’s top doctors including experts in fusion less technology, stem cell research, robotic surgery and treatment of thalassaemia. The delegation is led by Senior Minister of State for Health of the Republic of Singapore, Dr Balaji Sadasivan.

SingaporeMedicine will showcase many of Singapore’s medical strengths, demonstrating how Singapore manages and maintains its efficient healthcare system; how the country’s healthcare companies work with regional and international partners to provide a holistic approach to healthcare; etc.
