For most doctors, we would prefer HSA to continue with pre-market assessment of these devices but what we require is faster access to these products.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29051014.post-18886195515058916052012-04-12T18:44:26.716+08:002012-04-12T18:44:26.716+08:00Thanks for your clarification and glad to read tha...Thanks for your clarification and glad to read that the guys at the opposite side of the table (HSA) are listening to the concerns raised and will be flexible in the implementation. Hopefully, this will result in win-win for all stakeholders. Right way to go!

The executive officers eg CEO are doctors ( but not necessarily so) and allied health personel ( pharmacists). It is governed by a Board of Dirs some of whom are doctors. Chairman is a doc. The executive officers are mainly non-practising docs and often rely on practising docs for advice. Perhaps they sort advice from public hospital docs nofearSingaporehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10292932144525733468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29051014.post-57917173173469026722012-04-08T21:54:47.199+08:002012-04-08T21:54:47.199+08:00I find it quite strange - isn't the HSA run by...I find it quite strange - isn't the HSA run by doctors as well? At least that's what I notice in the list of Board members and the CEO. It seems to me that doctors (in HSA) who would have undergone similar medical training don't seem to understand their own colleagues' needs in trying to help patients when they sit at the opposite side of the table.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
