The Doctor Raised In US Saving Singapore Patients, Kidney By Kidney | Singaporean At Heart - Pt 2/4

Professor A Vathsala, who moved to Singapore from the US, found herself working in nephrology and kidney transplantation at the Singapore General Hospital in the 1980s when 1 in 2 transplant patients died from kidney rejection.
Her advocacy for patients’ continued access to subsidies for immunosuppressant drugs paved the way for Singapore’s lauded success rates in kidney transplantation today. As the co-director of the National University Centre for Organ Transplantation (NUCOT) today, she continues to strive to add years to the lives of patients.

    I am one of her patients who had undergone a kidney transplant on Nov 2017 and Prof Tiong in the video was my head surgeon. I was operated on at 1am in the morning and am so thankful till this very day for the new kidney and their medical professionalism and expertise. Being a patient at NUCOT, the treatment is so comprehensive and I am really being well taken care of in all aspects. Thank you Prof Vathsala and the team at NUCOT.

    Ive had renal failure I request all CKD patients to never repeat my mistakes. Please please take care of your native kidneys , treat them with love and affection , do not eat too much protein , control your BP and sodium , sugar intake . Intermittent Fasting for 12 hours will help you to deny food to your body and absolve some of your health karma. Earn a honest living , Never sell adulterated food to maximise your profit margins, never sell alcohol, never sell or promote tobacco . Dialysis is like taking small steps to fatality and this disease is terrible . My heart breaks when I saw the patients in this video. 🙏🏾🙏🏾

    Thank God she went to Singapore. As an Indian and a doctor in India, i feel like her zeal and talent would have been wasted if she were to come to India. That too in those early years , people wouldn't have given ears to her words . What she is today is her talent and hardwork but her contributions were made possible because of the kind of infrastructure and support Singapore has given her . I sincerely hope one day my country can boast about quality medical care too even at the basement level . 🙏
