Chan KM

Dr Chan Kin Ming was awarded a PSC scholarship to study Medicine in King Edward VII College of Medicine, which was later renamed in 1982 to Faculty of Medicine, National University of Singapore.

He graduated with MBBS(S’pore) in 1983.  He did his housemanship in the Department of Paediatric Medicine under Dr Tan Keng Wee, Consultant and Head, at Alexandra Hospital, followed by a posting in General Surgery at Alexandra Hospital under Dr Ng Boon Keng.  His final housemanship posting was in the Department of Medicine (Unit 1 or University Department) at Singapore General Hospital under Prof Cheah Jin Seng, a reputed Physician and Endocrinologist.  It was in Singapore General Hospital that he developed a passion for internal medicine, and later geriatric medicine.

Upon completion of his Masters in Internal Medicine in 1988, he did a short stint in the Blood Bank and Department of Haematology in SGH as Medical Officer (Specialist) as he completed his Masters in 2 years instead of the usual 3 years.  In 1989, he went to Tan Tock Seng Hospital as a Registrar and was among the first few doctors to start the first Department of Geriatric Medicine in Singapore.

He was subsequently awarded the Health Manpower Development Plan for Geriatric Medicine (HMDP) in 1990 to further hone his skills in Geriatric Medicine.  He was interned (as an Honorary Senior Registrar) at the Victoria Geriatric Unit of Victoria Infirmary in Glasgow.  There, he was trained by Prof John Dall, a world leading authority in Geriatric Medicine and was the President of the European Geriatric Society. It was during his HMDP in Glasgow that he obtained his Diploma in Geriatric Medicine from the Royal College of Surgeons and Physicians, Glasgow, in 1990.

Upon his return to Singapore in1991, he was tasked to start the first Geriatric Centre and the first Geriatric Day Hospital in Singapore, the Alexandra Geriatric Centre at Alexandra Hospital where he remained as Head of Department.

He was elected as Fellow, Academy of Medicine in 1993 and received a Certificate of Specialist Registration in Geriatric Medicine in 1998.  In 1998, he was seconded to head the Department of Geriatric Medicine at Changi General Hospital.  He remained as Head of both departments until he resigned to start his private practice in 2000.  By then, both departments had programmes and clinics running, and were popular choices for doctors to apply for training there.

While he was at Alexandra Hospital, he received the Excellence in Teaching Award in 1998 and Excellence in Research and Publications Award in 1999.

He had also published the first textbook of Geriatric Medicine called ‘Geriatric Medicine for Singapore’ in 1996.  This textbook became the standard textbook by doctors attending the Graduate Diploma in Geriatric Medicine Course and by nurses studying for the Gerontological Nursing Course.  In addition, he also published another 2 books for laypersons:  ‘Common Problems of the Aged’ in 2001 and ‘The Golden Years – A Caregivers’ Guide’ in 2009.

His work was recognized and in 2003, he was listed in Marquis Who’s Who in Science and Engineering, and in 2005 listed in Marquis Who’s Who in Medicine and Healthcare.

He had been an Expert Witness as well as a Court Appointed Expert Witness for several cases in the Singapore Family Court, Mental Capacity Court and High Court, as well as in the New South Wales Guardianship Tribunal (New South Wales Civil and Administrative Tribunal) (File no: 54218.  Guardianship Matters 2013/6951 and Financial Management 2013/6952 of Mr. R Ho) and the Guardianship Tribunal (Sydney, Australia) for Mrs Yit May HO.  NCAT file no: C/60547, 2015.  His specialist reports had also been submitted to the Indonesian Court.

Since 2014, he was appointed by the United Nations as the Geriatric Specialist to assess fitness-for-trial of senior Khmer Rouge leaders in Case 002/02 of the Extraordinary Chambers of the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC).  In 2015, he testified before the 5 Judges (3 Cambodian and 2 International Judges) at the Trial Chambers on the Cognitive and Physical fitness to stand trial on the 2 accused.

He also helped to modify the Abbreviated Mental Test (a test of cognitive function) into the Khmer language and helped to train doctors (psychiatrists and neurologists) from the Khmer-Soviet Friendship Hospital, Phnom Penh, to administer this test.

He was subsequently awarded the Health Manpower Development Plan for Geriatric Medicine (HMDP) in 1990 to further hone his skills in Geriatric Medicine.  He was interned (as an Honorary Senior Registrar) at the Victoria Geriatric Unit of Victoria Infirmary in Glasgow.  There, he was trained by Prof John Dall, a world leading authority in Geriatric Medicine and was the President of the European Geriatric Society.  The other Consultant that trained him included Dr Keith Beard, Dr Ian Lennox and Dr Margaret Roberts.

During his time in Glasgow, he was also exposed to Palliative Medicine with a posting in Marie Curie Hospice in Glasgow.  The Centre provides a specialist lymphoedema clinic, liaison with nursing homes, outpatient and domicillary medical assessment and hospice at home.  Specialist palliative medicine input is provided by Glasgow Royal Infirmary, Stobhill Hospital and the Beatson Oncology Centre.  He also had the opportunity to observe the State of the Art in managing falls in the elderly at the Falls Clinic at Newcastle-upon-Tyne.

It was during his HMDP in Glasgow that he obtained his Diploma in Geriatric Medicine from the Royal College of Surgeons and Physicians, Glasgow, in 1990.

Upon his return to Singapore in1991, he was tasked to start the first Geriatric Centre and the first Geriatric Day Hospital in Singapore, the Alexandra Geriatric Centre at Alexandra Hospital where he remained as Head of Department.  In 1998, he was seconded to head the Department of Geriatric Medicine at Changi General Hospital.  He remained as Head of both departments until he resigned to start his private practice in 2000.  In both Departments, he started various clinics like the Continence Clinic where he is trained to do Urodynamic Studies in the assessment of incontinence.

In Alexandra Hospital, he also started the Cognitive Assessment Clinic in collaboration with Professor Kua Ee Heok, Professor and Head of the Department of Psychiatric Medicine, National University Hospital.  This Clinic served to assess and manage memory problems and problems associated with dementia.

During his period in both Alexandra Hospital and Changi General Hospital, he recruited and trained many specialists, and many of them are now Senior Consultants and Head of Departments in the public hospitals.

He had also attended numerous courses to upgrade his skills, not just in the area of Geriatric Medicine, but also in Management.

Upon completion of his Masters in Internal Medicine, he did a short stint in the Blood Bank and Department of Haematology in SGH before he went to Tan Tock Seng Hospital and was among the first few doctors to start the first Department of Geriatric Medicine in Singapore.

He was subsequently awarded the Health Manpower Development Plan for Geriatric Medicine (HMDP) in 1990 to further hone his skills in Geriatric Medicine.  He was interned (as an Honorary Senior Registrar) at the Victoria Geriatric Unit of Victoria Infirmary in Glasgow.  There, he was trained by Prof John Dall, a world leading authority in Geriatric Medicine and was the President of the European Geriatric Society.  The other Consultant that trained him included Dr Keith Beard.

During his time in Glasgow, he was also exposed to Palliative Medicine with a posting in Marie Curie Hospice in Glasgow.  The Centre provides a specialist lymphoedema clinic, liaison with nursing homes, outpatient and domicillary medical assessment and hospice at home.  Specialist palliative medicine input is provided by Glasgow Royal Infirmary, Stobhill Hospital and the Beatson Oncology Centre.

It was during his HMDP in Glasgow that he obtained his Diploma in Geriatric Medicine from the Royal College of Surgeons and Physicians, Glasgow, in 1990.

Upon his return to Singapore in1991, he was tasked to start the first Geriatric Centre and the first Geriatric Day Hospital in Singapore, the Alexandra Geriatric Centre at Alexandra Hospital where he remained as Head of Department.  In 1998, he was seconded to head the Department of Geriatric Medicine at Changi General Hospital.  He remained as Head of both departments until he resigned to start his private practice in 2000.  By then, both departments had programmes and clinics running, and were popular choices for doctors to apply for training there.

During his time in Civil Service, he was actively involved in Administrative, Planning, Clinical, Academic and Research work.  His experience in Geriatric Medicine spans government (various Ministries), NGOs and VWOs; as well as whole spectrum of care for the elderly:  Acute care in Hospitals, Step down care in Community Hospitals, Nursing Homes, Dementia Nursing Homes, Dormiciliary (Home) Care, Day Care (Social and Rehabilitative), Seniors Activities Centre and Counselling Centres.

What Patients Say

• Our deepest appreciation for looking after our mum.  Your untiring care, concern will always be treasured.  Thanks for your kind words of condolences.  Our gratitude always.

• My children and I would like to thank you, Dr Chan, for the care given to my late husband, Datuk Amar (name), and the patience and understanding that you have shown towards him during his treatment over the years.  We are deeply appreciative of the time you always afforded him and our family, trying to answer all our questions about his condition.  We will always remember your compassion shown towards him.  It is a blessing to know doctors like you whose manner brings solace.

• There is no such thing as a small kindness.  Thank you Dr Chan.

• I would like to thank you personally for seeing my father while he was in hospital.  I had hoped that his condition would have improved so that he could see you regularly as his geriatric doctor.  However, God knows best, and has decided that his time is up.  Although we miss my father dearly, I am glad that his days of physical suffering on earth are over and that he is today resting safe in the presence of God and the Lord Jesus Christ.  Many thanks for all your kindness shown.  May God bless you for all you’ve done.  Thank you so much.

• Thank you for looking after Harry so caringly during his long and trying illness.

• The world’s a whole lot better place because of people like you, who give real joy and pleasure by the nice things that they do…And with your recent thoughtfulness still very much in mind, this is meant to bring a thank you of the very warmest kind.

• This comes with sincere gratitude.  Many thanks for all you help and caring for my mother.

• My mother would like to sincerely thank you all for your impressive dedication and commitment to patient service.  She is pleased to have made such remarkable progress at this hospital, after her transfer from another, and attributes the speedy recovery to Dr Chan’s medical skills.

• Thank you for attending to my brother (name), listening to my dad when he shared his view of things and presenting options for us to consider when the conventional means of treatment were not accepted.  Your professionalism is appreciated.

• We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for treating our dad Mr (name) for the past 6 months, especially the whole week when he was admitted to the ICU ward.  Although we lost him on 11 Aug 07, we believe that without your treatment, we could have lost him earlier.  Once again, thank you for giving us an opportunity to be with our beloved dad longer.

• My father and my family and I will always be thankful for your patience and kindness to wife / mother during her last hard days in hospital.  We are particularly grateful for your steady guidance leading us to let mother die with dignity and peace.  This Xmas maybe the most difficult without her ‘tone’ in the background, but mother will greatly approve of this token gift of thanks to her wonderful last doctor this side of heaven!

• I want to thank you for the care that you have given to my mother.  It is karma that Dr Jerry Lim recommended us to you so many years ago because we could not have asked for a more caring doctor.  I think Mum appreciated that as well as I could see she had implicit trust in you.  Thank you for taking care of Mum all these years and sharing the responsibility with me.  I really appreciate that.

• Thank you for taking care of my mother (name) over the many years.

• Thank you for looking after my husband (name) at home, in Soo’s Home and in Hospital.  Once again, many thanks for your devotion, patience and expertise.  You did all you can for him.

• Thanks very much for what you’ve helped and done for our father (name) during his last few days.

• Thanks so much for all your efforts to make my mum comfortable during her last days.  For all the time taken to monitor her so closely, we’re all very grateful.  Pls accept this as a small token of our appreciation.

• We wish to extend our heartfelt appreciation and gratitude for taking care of our mother, the late Mdm (name), during the past months and during her time at Mt Alvernia Hospital.  Thank you for giving her the best care and treatment and alleviating her pain and suffering to enable her to live her life to the fullest with joy and peace.  We owe you our deepest thanks.  May God Bless you and your family richly in all things.

• Dear Dr Chan Kin Ming, Today, I received your medical certificate, as requested by my travel insurance company.  It was good of you to reply to my letter so promptly, and I do want to thank you.  Fortunately, I am very well, and enjoying life (and remembering to drink lots of water!).  I am most appreciative of your kindness.  With best wishes, Sincerely, Margaret Watson

• Dear Dr. Chan, I really think you must congratulate yourself on Desmond’s recovery from oblivion.  And of course the rather good staff at Gleneagles.

• When patients die, people blame the doctor.  When they survive, they say ‘What a miracle!”  Three to four weeks ago we were writing his Obituary and collecting Photos for the newspaper and an old friend was writing out the Eulogy to be spoken in whichever temple of observance Desmond might have ever attended. He will go home this week.  Dr Caldwell

• Dear Dr Chan, We wish to express our heartfelt thanks and appreciation for your kind care given to our mother, Mdm Wong SF under difficult circumstances.  Ronnie, Janice and Wai Chee Leong

• Dear Dr Chan & Staff, We would like to express our thanks to you and your staff for your care, concern and support for my late father, Mr Yap YS.  Yours Sincerely,  Dr Terrence Yap & Family

• Dear Dr Chan, Thank you very much.  You are Godsend.  I am hopeful that we will be able to do this smoothly from here.   Will keep you posted.  Thanks.  Susan Koh

• Dear Dr Chan, Thanks for talking to Karen about the driving today.  You were remarkably kind and gentle and affirming.  She was sad and a bit angry, but didn’t react as strongly as I anticipated.  She seemed a little more calm by afternoon.  I hope she will be able to accept it soon. Thanks again for doing this such a kind way.  You are a gifted doctor. Kind regards, Mark M

• Dear Dr Chan, “Thank You” doesn’t say it all, but at least it starts to let you know how very much your kindness and dedication touched our hearts. With all our appreciations from Family Choong and most of all Centenarian Choong!

• To Dr Chan Kin Ming,  The family of the late Mrs Fang (Lee SE) would like to thank you for your care of our mother.  Your kindness, love and compassion we greatly appreciate.

• Dr Chan Kin Ming:  Taking this very special time to say you’re very fondly thought of especially on this New Year’s Day and Wished a year that’s richly blessed wth good health, longevity and any everything’s that’s happiest and may God keep you in His Loving Care and Answer your smallest prayer. Fatima Perira, daughter of Mama Lee

• Dear Dr Chan Thanks very much for today.  When you asked if there was anything else to discuss and you looked at all of us, I assumed you didn’t want me to bring up what I already discussed with you by email.  I don’t want to say those things in front of Karen.  Is that correct? You have a very assuring method of dealing with her and she likes you very much.  When she asked which doctor we are seeing today, and I said “Dr Chan, the one you like so much”, her face really lit up.  Thank you for all your kindness. Mark McCurley, 29 October 2015

• Dear Dr Chan, Thank you  for your concern & care in taking such good care of me over the past 2 weeks – you have truly been such a blessing & I appreciate it very much.  Please remember to take good care of yourself too as you continue to touch many lives and may God bless you and our family always. Claire Lye

• Dr Chan! From one of your very grateful ones!   SH Tow (Dr)

• Dr Chan, Thank you for enabling the quality of life that I’m enjoying now.  Lim SY

• Dear Dr Chan, Just a short note to thank you for looking after my Mum so well, for so many years. I particularly appreciates how in recent years you have been willing to be consulted via email. Your speedy replies and suggested treatments when needed had been most reassuring and comforting. I would also like to express my appreciation and thank you to Lai Kheng for all the assistance she has rendered, in her usual pleasant and efficient way. I have enclosed a write up I did on my mother’s life, which you may find interesting. Very many thanks for all you have done. Sincerely, Kenson Kwok  28/2/16

• Thank you so very much, dear Doctor Chan for your immediate and best care.  Miss Wong from AIC phoned.  She is trying to get me under the Home Nursing Foundation.  She will call to confirm. I am able to sit up more, eat better.  Must remain quiet to breath normally.  BIG GOD BLESS YOU. Olivia S. 16.5.16
