In a groundbreaking development for pediatric healthcare in the Philippines, the Philippine Children’s Medical Center (PCMC) in Quezon City proudly unveils its latest additions: state-of-the-art magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) scanners.

National Dental Centre Singapore (NDCS) has recently launched a nitrous oxide sedation service, specifically designed to alleviate dental anxiety in paediatric patients. Nitrous oxide sedation is a lower-risk alternative to General Anaesthesia (GA), particularly for complex dental treatments. It offers mild sedation, making it safer for the respiratory system and blood flow. Another advantage is its rapid elimination from the body, allowing for a quicker recovery.

In a world where technological advancements continuously reshape various aspects of life, healthcare is no exception. The National University Hospital (NUH) in Singapore has made a significant leap in this direction by implementing an Artificial Intelligence (AI) triage tool called RapidAI. This AI tool, capable of identifying stroke patients in less than a minute, is revolutionising the way healthcare providers approach stroke management. By significantly reducing the diagnosis time, it enables faster treatment decisions, thereby improving patient outcomes and potentially transforming stroke care in Singapore and beyond.
