Caring

LATEST - Issue 1 (2026)

Caring turns a new page. In this revamped issue, we bring you a warmer voice and stories told by the people of CGH themselves. They offer a fuller picture of not just what our hospital does, but who we are.

We open with two stories that challenge common assumptions about ageing. Dr Jamie Kee, Associate Consultant, Geriatric Medicine, shows how growing older need not mean losing independence. Dr Koh Yeow Hoay, Senior Consultant, National Neuroscience Institute @ CGH, explains how to tell normal forgetfulness from something worth following up on.

We also celebrate the 30 years Clin Assoc Prof Peter Lu, Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) Specialist, has spent at CGH. And we meet Cham Toon Chok and Chua Chin Seng, two Emergency Department Observation Ward volunteers who show up for patients with no one else by their side.

Dr Joshua Li, Consultant, Sport & Exercise Medicine, looks at whether tiredness or inactivity is what keeps you from exercising. Dr Glen Roche, Consultant, Psychological Medicine, explains why some patients form emotional bonds with AI chatbots. Dr Kamalakannan Srimalan, Principal Resident Physician, General Medicine, reveals his other life as a painter. And Joel Teo, Dietitian, unpacks the link between gut health and mood.

We wish you an enjoyable read! You can check out the articles here.
