3 medical studies win inaugural grant from Tanoto Foundation

A private philanthropy is giving up to S$5 million each year to fund medical research projects, including one that could reduce heart disease risk in diabetics using low-cost medicines. That study is among the first three winners of the award from the Tanoto Foundation. The foundation's executive advisor, Bey Soo Khiang, shares its philosophy in helping medical research. Associate Professor Rinkoo Dalan from Tan Tock Seng Hospital, who is the lead doctor behind the project on heart disease in diabetic patients, also gives us more insight on what her study aims to achieve.

It is noteworthy to mention what Dr. Chee Soon Juan said in his opening remarks, that some Singaporeans have told him, “it is better to die than to fall sick in Singapore.”

Tanoto Foundation Joins Forces with World Bank, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and Indonesian Government. It's all part of the same family.

Lucky I didn't had any brand of the jab before and that's why never sick before, as majority people said after they took the jabs previously but nowadays they only became more and more easily to fall sick, it's the pap party mistakes and there's no way to u-turn back.

“Healthcare is a right and not a commodity,” said Dr. Paul Tambyah, to drive home the point that for-profit healthcare systems have failed to support citizens in the fringes of our society.

Paul Tambyah is just a double faced corrupted medical practitioner pretending to stand for the Singapore citizens. In reality he is part of the medical healthcare system that skimmed the asset of ordinary Singaporeans. Speaking in public “Healthcare is a right and not a commodity” is nothing but a Joke.
