Mini Medical School saved my life!
M
r NS Nathan is a retired school principal who continues to make his education a priority.
“If I had not attended the programme, I would not have gone for health screening and I might not be alive today,” said Mr Nathan.
He has been a regular attendee of KTPH Mini-Medical School which runs courses to help the public better understand and look after their health.
Grateful that the knowledge learnt at Mini-Medical School had saved his life, he donated $10,000 to the programme.
“The Mini-Medical School doctors have always emphasised healthy practices and proactive measures to detect early symptoms and signs of diseases in older persons,” said Mr Nathan.
