MWH Medical Pte Ltd., a leading Singapore- based medical group, and Siemens Healthineers have launched the first Asia Reference Center is a testament to their long- working partnership.
Both parties will develop a center of excellence with the long- term objectives of ensuring better disease management and improving quality of patient care. With the rise of chronic diseases prevalent in Asia, the center will allow both parties to embark on partnerships to meet the enormous clinical interest in diagnostic advanced imaging.
Through their shared efforts and cooperation, global experts from Siemens Healthineers will leverage MWH Medical’s facilities and stateofthe- art technology to drive training programs and educate both local and regional medical practitioners. Together, both parties will continue to expand healthcare services to ensure better disease management and improve overall patient outcome.
The center will serve as a touch point to other regional medical facilities and to introduce Siemens’ latest medical innovations and technology in Asia. This strategic partnership will pave its way as the region’s main healthcare hub and cater to the challenges medical practitioners face in managing higher expectations around convenience, customization and overall experience. The partnership will seed a new set of considerations in seeking growth amid an industry in transformation.
“With our strategic partnership with Siemens Healthineers, and in line with Singapore’s Smart Nation initiative, we want to digitize the healthcare experience for both patient and caregiver by improving the speed and efficacy in delivering care to patients,” said medical director of MWH Medical, Michael Lim.
“Doctors and patients alike will now be able to access their medical information remotely via the MWH app, and patients will now be able to participate in a tele- collaboration with experts from around the world together with their consulting doctor, reducing the need to even leave the country,” said Lim, a medical doctor.
MWH Medical housed the region’s first 3T Magnetom Vida MRI machine that incorporates artificial intelligence with its BioMatrix Technology. The 3T MRI machine conducts faster examinations and produces results with higher resolution for better image quality and accuracy. The technology caters to the specific needs of each patient, while also delivering consistent, high- quality and personalized examination results that prevent unwarranted variations in imaging results, allowing MWH Medical to achieve improved medical precision and deliver better patient care.
“The regional medical landscape is still fraught with underdeveloped infrastructure, fiscal constraints and shortages of medical professionals and equipment. In line with Singapore’s Smart Nation drive, we recognize that advancements in technology is needed to address growing medical concerns,” Lim said.
