The first of its kind in Singapore, our rehabilitation centre provides integrated care to address the needs of cancer patients, survivors, and caregivers.
This community-based rehabilitation centre largely serves non-acute cases which do not require frequent hospital follow-up. Our rehabilitation team works with patients and caregivers to determine rehabilitation goals and craft personalised programmes.
