Leading Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) healthcare group Gu Sheng Tang TCM, based in Hong Kong, and Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) have launched the Gu Sheng Tang Traditional Chinese Medicine Education and Research Programme.
As part of the programme, Gu Sheng Tang TCM has donated S$1.06 million to NTU, aimed at advancing TCM talent development and evidence-based research in Singapore, while supporting the country's broader healthcare ecosystem.
The collaboration between Gu Sheng Tang TCM and NTU marks a key milestone in Gu Sheng Tang's efforts to build an international expansion framework that integrates academia, technology and capital, in partnership with NTU. Through a structured long-term investment, Gu Sheng Tang TCM seeks to strengthen the expertise of TCM professionals in Singapore and reinforce the scientific, evidence-based foundations of TCM, thereby enhancing its standing and credibility within the healthcare system of Singapore.
The partnership signifies a deep integration between a leading academic institution and a high-quality healthcare service provider. As Singapore faces a rapidly ageing population and rising healthcare needs, there is a growing interest in preventive and complementary medicine. As a result, the role of TCM has become increasingly significant.
On the talent development front, the collaboration focuses on developing an internationally oriented TCM practitioner workforce. As part of the programme, Gu Sheng Tang TCM will regularly invite leading TCM experts from China to Singapore to conduct lectures and provide clinical mentorship as visiting professors.
