Dr. Goh Pik Pin

Dr Goh said, From the patients' perspective, we do clinical research to discover more effective treatments and improve patients' treatment. The ultimate aim is to provide a good quality of life. From the perspective of healthcare providers, research helps save costs. When more effective treatment is available, there will be less complication. Patients will have shorter stays in hospitals which, in turn, save money. From the country's perspective, research can improve its wealth by bringing in investments from pharmaceutical companies which will set up offices and labs here, thus providing job opportunities.
