Changi General Hospital guilty of negligence that delayed cancer diagnosis, allowing it to spread: Appeals Court

SINGAPORE - Changi General Hospital has been found negligent in a case where its lack of a proper system led to delayed diagnosis of cancer in a patient.

Instead of detecting the lung cancer at an early stage, the hospital, through its negligence, allowed it to spread to a lymph node by the time it was diagnosed.

Ridiculous that Justice Belinda Ang could so definitively rule in the initial proceedings that the evidence clearly cleared the docs. Good on the patient that she pursued the case. Wishing her all the best going forward for the settlement and in the fight for her life now.

Deferment by polytechnic to CGH takes at least six months to secure a specialist appointment! What do you think?
