Medtronic Partners Singhealth To Enhance Diabetes Patient Care

By  |  0 Comments

Development of a Centre of Excellence will advance treatment and care management of the disease across Southeast Asia.

Operating out of Singapore General Hospital’s Diabetes and Metabolism Centre, the Centre of Excellence on diabetes, is a joint effort that pairs Medtronic International Limited’s advanced diabetes management solutions with SingHealth’s experience in holistic diabetes care. The centre plans to enhance patient education and give them access to innovative technology, in particular intensive insulin therapy as well as deepen regional education and training for physicians on the latest technology to manage the disease.

The partnership is timely, considering the fact that the World Health Organisation (WHO) had recently called for global action to halt rise in and improve care for people with diabetes at the 2016 edition of World Health Day, as well as the Singapore government’s declaration of a “war” against the disease earlier this year.
