✨Join us for the 4th Singapore Medical Humanities Conference on Thursday, 22nd October – Friday, 23rd October.✨

Based on the theme “Living with Illness, Caring with Meaning”, this Conference centres on the perspectives of patients, caregivers, and families, examining illness not merely as a clinical condition but as a human experience shaped by relationships, culture, ethics, and meaning. It asks how healthcare systems and professionals can respond more thoughtfully to the moral, emotional, and relational dimensions of living with illness.

Congratulations to our Director, Dr Ong Eng Koon on winning both the Outstanding Educator Award and the Progranne Excellence Award for HAPPE at this year's Golden Apple Awards!
