Cardiologist barred from rewarding ambulance services for referring patients to where he works

SINGAPORE – A cardiologist in private practice has been given a list of things he is not allowed to do for 18 months or until a complaint made against him has been resolved.

The SMC, the medical profession’s watchdog, received a complaint against Dr Wong in August 2021 concerning his practice at each of two locations: Healthy Heart Specialist Centre and Somerset Imaging Centre at 111 Somerset.In releasing the statement on the interim order, the SMC did not indicate what the complaint was about or who had made it.

This committee was tasked “to determine if it was necessary for the protection of members of the public, or was otherwise in the public interest, or was in the interests of Dr Wong, that Dr Wong’s registration be suspended or be made subject to conditions or restrictions”.
