Region's First Siemens Healthineers Asia Reference Center in Singapore

Siemens Healthineers will establish its first-in-the-region, Asia Reference Center at the newly-launched MWH Medical Center. The Center will serve as a touch point to other regional medical facilities and to introduce Siemens' latest medical innovations and technology in Asia.

This strategic partnership will pave its way as the region's main healthcare hub and cater to the challenges medical practitioners face in managing higher expectations around convenience, customization and overall experience.

The partnership will seed a new set of considerations in seeking growth amid an industry in transformation.

MWH Medical housed the region's first 3T Magnetom Vida MRI machine that incorporates artificial intelligence with its BioMatrix Technology, the 3T MRI machine conducts faster examinations and produces results with higher resolution for better image quality and accuracy.

The technology caters to the specific needs of each patient, while also delivering consistent, high-quality and personalized examination results that prevent unwarranted variations in imaging results, allowing MWH Medical to achieve improved medical precision and deliver better patient care.

Partnership Elevates MWH Medical's Patient-centric Care Through Digital Transformation

The regional medical landscape is still fraught with underdeveloped infrastructure, fiscal constraints and shortages of medical professionals and equipment. In line with Singapore's Smart Nation drive, we recognize that advancements in technology is needed to address growing medical concerns.

With our strategic partnership with Siemens Healthineers, and in line with Singapore's Smart Nation initiative, we want to digitize the healthcare experience for both patient and caregiver by improving the speed and efficacy in delivering care to patients.

Doctors and patients alike will now be able to access their medical information remotely via the MWH app, and patients will now be able to participate in a tele-collaboration with experts from around the world together with their consulting doctor, reducing the need to even leave the country,"

Dr. Michael Lim, Medical Director of MWH Medical.

"The rise of the digital economy has had a profound effect across industries, eliciting varying degrees of adaptation. With one of the best healthcare systems in Asia and the world, setting up Siemens Healthineers' first Asia Reference Center in Singapore together with MWH Medical was an amicable decision to make."
