Patient Care
Neck lumps and bumps (Medical Article)
Neck lumps (and bumps) can be a startling discovery and not uncommon. These lumps can be classified into 'superficial' lumps if they are found within the skin or 'deep' lumps if they are under the skin. These lumps are benign and may grow slowly over the years. Surgery to remove these lumps can be considered if they cause discomfort due to pressure effects. In the case of epidermoid cysts and sebaceous cysts, these lumps may get infected and progress to pus formation. Thus, surgery can help to prevent this complication. Dr Tan Choon Chieh, Senior Consultant, Head & Neck Service, SKH shares more.
Announcements
Sengkang General and Community Hospitals Open Its Doors to Serve the Northeast Community
Sengkang General Hospital (SKH) will open progressively from 18 August 2018, and Sengkang Community Hospital (SKCH) from 28 August 2018. The SKH Campus will offer a comprehensive suite of specialist care, inpatient and rehabilitation services. Its opening will enhance access to healthcare services, particularly for those staying in the Northeast region of Singapore.
Seniors take 'IPPT' to ward off health crises
A team from Sengkang General Hospital and Singapore General Hospital developed an Individual Physical Proficiency Test for Seniors (IPPT-S) to identify people aged 55 and older at risk of frailty. Conducted in collaboration with community partners such as Senior Activity Centres, its aim was to detect frailty early and help these at-risk seniors make lifestyle changes before a health crisis, like a fall, occurs. The first to get on board was COMNET Senior Activity Centre @ Rivervale Crescent and Rivervale Community Centre.
Sengkang General Hospital Community Health Fair
Sengkang General Hospital held a Community Health Fair at Compass One mall in June 2017 to mark another key milestone in the building of our hospitals. The SKH team provided updates on the hospital’s infrastructure progress and raised awareness on health conditions such as dementia, frailty, cancer, diabetes and other health matters. The hospital is collaborating with national speciality centres to bring the same level of specialised care closer to residents in the northeast.
