SINGAPORE – At the age of nine, Mr Jedidiah Jivon Sebastian, together with his two younger brothers, was already volunteering at medical camps in Nepal, where his family had moved to from Singapore when he was five.
He recalled acting as a dental assistant at 16, holding a torchlight and handling a tray as a dentist tried extracting the roots of a tooth which had broken off in the mouth of an elderly patient. On Friday, he received the Healthcare Merit Award for Pharmacy at the Healthcare Scholarships Award Ceremony, held at the Sands Expo and Convention Centre.
A three-day experiential learning journey at the Singapore General Hospital in the first year at NUS helped open his eyes to what being a pharmacist would entail, he said.
