The opportunity to contribute to the well-being of others is a driving force to me.
Factors to consider include age, gender, medical history, risk factors and family history. When in doubt, consult a healthcare professional to determine the most appropriate screenings based on individual health needs.
Reading medical journals, looking at international online medical articles and attending talks helps me stay updated on recent and impactful developments in the medical field.
To treat and manage patients as if they are my own family members – do for them what I would do for my loved ones.
We do pick up early cancers in patients regularly in our centre and it is rewarding to know that we have made a difference to the lives of the patients and their families. These success stories reinforce the importance of our work and inspire a continuous commitment to delivering high-quality care.
Patients can also reach us via our clinic webpage and email at any time. This helps provide a reliable avenue for assistance outside of traditional working hours, and ensure that patients’ needs are addressed promptly and comprehensively.
Certainly. After the health screening session, the patient will usually return for a review consultation with the doctor to discuss any abnormal results and we collaboratively explore options for follow-up or treatment. This ensures that patients are well-informed and are active participants in their healthcare journey.
Patients must be given chances to ask questions and clarify any doubts in their report. Information and diagrams readily available on the internet also helps to make the explanation process more accessible and comprehensive.
I have dedicated time set aside for my family and my personal activities after work, and I also enjoy travelling. Going for regular lunches with colleagues is also a great way of recharging midway during the workday.
Adopt a healthy lifestyle by having a balanced diet, regular exercise, sufficient sleep and stress management. Routine health screening will help to detect disease early. Listen to your body and be attentive to any unusual symptoms.
