Driving Preventive Health Forward With Integrative Medicine Programme

NHG Health's flagship hospital Tan Tock Seng Hospital (TTSH) and NTU Singapore are embarking on the Prevention & Recovery through Integrative Medicine (PRIME) Collaboration.

Integrative medicine is an approach to medical care that recognises the benefit of combining conventional therapies (such as drugs and surgery) with complementary therapies.

Through this partnership, NTU and TTSH will explore the role of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as a complementary treatment to manage pain, palliative symptoms, rehabilitation, and other suitable conditions. The partnership will also strengthen the training of TCM practitioners in Singapore.

From 2027, NTU's Chinese Medicine final-year students will undergo clinical rotations at TTSH, where they will observe how TCM and Western medicine can co-exist in patient care, while gaining practical knowledge tailored to Singapore's healthcare context.
