NUH cancels an important pet scan for a stage 4 cancer patient because he could not raise $600 yesterday for the deposit into his account.

The scan is necessary before a bone marrow transplant for the 53-year-old.
No Medisave or Medifund can be used and it has to be cold hard cash.
In Singapore, sometimes its really stressful if you are poor and sick with a dreadful illness.
Mind you NUH is supposed to be a government-aided hospital but it has turned profit-making after all the upgrading work.

Our heart goes out to Mr Ridwan…
Thanks to a Good Samaritan, Mr Ridwan is able to go for his pet scan at NUH asap.
We believe in humanity.
