108 students received healthcare scholarships by MOH Holdings to pursue health sciences.
When she was 13, Ms Sarah Anyssa Nor Azmi had a pacemaker implanted to keep her heart beating at the right pace.
On July 26, the 22-year-old received the Healthcare Merit Award for Nursing at the Healthcare Scholarships Award Ceremony from the guest of honour, Health Minister Ong Ye Kung. “Nurses are the middlemen between the doctor and the patient; they are the ones who respond directly to the patient,” she said, noting that her parents always recounted positive experiences of nurses assisting her when she was younger.
Not only is the Republic becoming a super-aged society, healthcare technology is also advancing rapidly – with precision medicine enabling doctors to intervene at the cellular and genetic levels, he said. Mr Ong said what makes a career in healthcare special is its sense of mission, and it is this sense of mission that drove scholarship recipient Andrew Chew Chuan Yang into the sector.
He remembers one visit where his grandmother was in such great pain that she asked her doctor to euthanise her to “get it done and over with”, but the doctor made sure that his grandmother felt loved and reassured.
