Did you know that difficulty chewing or swallowing, or having fewer teeth, can be early warning signs linked to sarcopenia, malnutrition, and physical frailty? These signs are often overlooked, but at the 𝐌𝐔𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐑 (𝐌𝐮𝐬𝐜𝐥𝐞 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐀𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐑𝐨𝐛𝐮𝐬𝐭) 𝐂𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐜, they are identified and addressed early as part of coordinated care that goes beyond the usual exercise and nutrition.

Inspired by a study trip to Japan, the Department of Geriatric Medicine at Tan Tock Seng Hospital (TTSH) started the geriatrician-led clinic, to tackle the growing concern for this silent disease in rapidly ageing Singapore.

Across our inpatient, rehab and palliative wards, doctors, nurses, medical social workers, allied health therapists, students and volunteers came together with families to fill the spaces with calligraphy, cherry blossom stamping, music and laughter. There were bedside greetings, nursing-led lion dances, karaoke, bingo, oranges shared, and heartfelt 𝙡𝙤𝙪 𝙝𝙚𝙞 sessions. 🥢

𝐎𝐧 𝐚𝐢𝐫 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 CNA𝟗𝟑𝟖 – 𝐒𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐚𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐁𝐮𝐝𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔
Yesterday evening after the Budget 2026 announcement by PM Wong, Dr Clive Tan, Senior Consultant, Epidemiology and Preventive Medicine, TTSH joined CNA938 to reflect on the Singapore Budget 2026 and what it means for the health of our nation.

The conversation focused on the strong push for AI and keeping Singapore’s ageing workforce healthy and active, strengthening senior volunteerism, and shaping a “Blue Zone Singapore” where growing older means living well, with purpose. Good health in our golden years is not just about longevity, but about staying engaged, contributing meaningfully, and thriving in the community.

Dr Tan also shared why continued healthcare investment matters. Investing in infrastructure and building capabilities in anticipation of future population needs helps to support healthy ageing and enhance quality of life. And for persons with disabilities, the health sector plays an important role in ensuring inclusivity and support their changing needs across life stages.

Yesterday, we hosted NTUC Singapore's Deputy Secretary-General Mr Desmond Tan 陈国明 and members of the Healthcare Services Employees' Union (HSEU) to share more on how our hospital continue to engage and support the workforce through innovation, automation, and job redesign.

DSG Tan visited our Smart Ward to learn more about how technologies such as the PreSAGE Smart Predictive Patient Monitoring system assist our workforce in managing labour and time-intensive tasks, especially the senior workforce.

Our Chief Human Resource Office Ms Lillian Ho shared, "Our older workers bring deep experience, care, and stability to the hospital. By redesigning roles, integrating AI and technology, and creating flexible work options, we continue to empower our workforce to thrive and deliver high quality care. Our partnership with NTUC and HSEU has been instrumental in accelerating this transformation."

𝐓𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐅𝐨𝐫 𝐓𝐨𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐰 : Patients undergoing partial or total knee replacement surgery look forward to resuming or even improving their daily lives. A multidisciplinary team came together with a clear, collective vision: to help patients go home earlier after knee surgery.

Through their collaboration, average stays fell from 4.1 to 1.4 days for partial knee replacements, and from 4.9 to 2.8 days for total knee replacements – numbers that have been sustained over five years.
