As travellers return from affected countries, Singapore continues to face a risk of imported chikungunya cases. Local Aedes mosquitoes — the same species that spread dengue and Zika — can transmit the virus if they bite an infected person.

If symptoms appear, 𝘀𝗲𝗲𝗸 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗽𝘁𝗹𝘆 at our 24-hour Urgent Care Centre. Quick diagnosis helps recovery — and helps infected individuals take precautions from being bitten again by uninfected mosquitos — thus preventing the virus from spreading further.

Ever wondered what goes into helping a patient with Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA) breathe and sleep more easily?

We take you behind the scenes at Gleneagles Hospital as ENT surgeons Dr Shaun Loh and Dr Han Hong Juan perform Hypoglossal Nerve Stimulation (HGNS) — a minimally invasive procedure that involves implanting a small device in the patient’s chest to keep airways open during sleep. This treatment may be considered for patients who can’t tolerate Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) therapy.

We’re humbled to be among the early adopters of this therapy in Singapore and we’re excited to offer more patients the opportunity to breathe and sleep more easily.

A special thank you to our teams involved in the care of patients with OSA.
