Region’s First Siemens Healthineers Asia
Reference Centre in Singapore

 

Siemens
Healthineers will establish its first-in-the-region, Asia Reference Centre at
the newly-launched MWH Medical Centre. The Centre will serve as a touch point
to other regional medical facilities and to introduce Siemens’ latest medical
innovations and technology in Asia. This strategic partnership will pave its
way as the region’s main healthcare hub and cater to the challenges medical
practitioners face in managing higher expectations around convenience,
customisation and overall experience. The partnership will seed a new set of
considerations in seeking growth amid an industry in transformation.

 

MWH
Medical housed the region’s first 3T Magnetom Vida MRI machine that incorporates
artificial intelligence with its BioMatrix Technology, the 3T MRI machine
conducts faster examinations and produces results with higher resolution for
better image quality and accuracy. The technology caters to the specific needs
of each patient, while also delivering consistent, high-quality and
personalised examination results that prevent unwarranted variations in imaging
results, allowing MWH Medical to achieve improved medical precision and deliver
better patient care.

 

Partnership
Elevates MWH Medical’s Patient-centric Care Through Digital Transformation

regional medical landscape is still fraught with underdeveloped infrastructure,
fiscal constraints and shortages of medical professionals and equipment. In
line with Singapore’s Smart Nation drive, we recognise that advancements in
technology is needed to address growing medical concerns,” said Medical
Director of MWH Medical, Dr Michael Lim.

 

“With
our strategic partnership with Siemens Healthineers, and in line with
Singapore’s Smart Nation initiative, we want to digitise the healthcare
experience for both patient and caregiver by improving the speed and efficacy
in delivering care to patients. Doctors and patients alike will now be able to
access their medical information remotely via the MWH app, and patients will
now be able to participate in a tele-collaboration with experts from around the
world together with their consulting doctor, reducing the need to even leave
the country,” he added.

 

Addressing
Asia-Pacific’s Burgeoning Healthcare Needs

“The
rise of the digital economy has had a profound effect across industries,
eliciting varying degrees of adaptation. With one of the best healthcare
systems in Asia and the world, setting up Siemens Healthineers’ first Asia
Reference Centre in Singapore together with MWH Medical was an amicable
decision to make. We are aligned in wanting to achieve the best outcome in
healthcare delivery, and with the support of MWH Medical we look forward to
providing Asia with greater access to the latest, world-class innovations in
medical technology with precision medicine and transforming care delivery,”
