Philips APAC Health Systems vice-president Dr Mark Burby said: “We have a long-standing relationship with Singapore General Hospital. We are excited to expand our partnership and play a part in elevating the diagnostic standards and capabilities in Singapore and Asia Pacific.

“This collaboration aligns with Philips’ vision of delivering better care for more people by raising the standards of care delivery. It is also part of our steady commitment to strategically work together with key health system stakeholders to improve the adoption and deepen the understanding of the latest imaging innovations in radiology.”

Two SGH MRI radiographers will participate in Philips Clinical Application Training under this partnership.

This train-the-trainer approach, typically reserved for Philips’ application specialists, will enable SGH radiographers to impart advanced MR clinical practice knowledge to their peers.
