Project Introduction

Objective of “Patient Support Project”

PS team was formed to provide free informational, social and moral support to Vietnamese patients; thus easing the treatment processes as well as helping the patients adapt to the new environment in Singapore. The main source of PS team is volunteered students or working adults in Singapore.
