MDS centers of excellence

Hi Birgitta-A,
FYI, about Dr Lim from "MDS centers of excellence" in Singapore, unfortunately he left SGH. The guest relations helped me to find another doctor, Dr Aloysius Ho which interested in MDS .

http://www.mds-foundation.org/mds-ce...of-excellence/

Actually i checked all the hematologist profile in SGH, i only found Dr Aloysius Ho profile with interest in MDS.

I consulted a professor in one of the Malaysia University that did some research on MDS back to year 2006. According to her, there is no MDS expert in Malaysia but most of the hematologist are well versed with the disease. To be honest, so far i have not met one yet.

I am not sure whether there is MDS expert in Singapore or not. Seems to me it is very slim chances that i could find one. Anyway i will try the hematologist with MDS clinical focus in Malaysia first, if he still cant help us to conclude whether my mom has MDS or not, then i have to go to Singapore SGH to find out.
