GPs of Singapore

All General Practitioners in Singapore should learn from 'GP'GCT. Who is this 'GP'GCT in Singapore? 'Free healthcare'philosophy is flawed, however well intentioned it was and is flawed. By emphasising personal responsibility, we have curbed the DANGERS of a free health care system which will only lead to abuses, over-use, wastage and runaway costs. His parents taught him to be so honourable, charitable and compassionate. Boy Scout movement in school have taught him leadership and teamwork. "Just be yourself. Why complicate an already complex world." Simplify the complication. No pretences, no hot air, keep your temper, honest to all,diligent, frugal, straight forward, keep things and life simple. Be yourself. Do not panic. He lost his father when he was nine years old: "One day I was summoned from school to appear at the bedside of my father. He was dying from tuberculosis. His last words to me were:"Look after your mother, look after your brother and sisters, study hard". That night he died. So I know the meaning to a family of someone dying pre maturely. But if I can help, I will try and save someone from dying pre maturely for his sake and for his family's. I would therefore make sure that every Singaporean can afford essential healthcare". Boy scouts leave a campsite better than when they find it. So like a true scout spirit 'GP'GCT has passed over Singapore to his successor better than when he took over. He was a fellow scout in Raffles Institute. His favourite Malay food is lontong. Another preferred hawker fare of his is char kuay teow. His golf handicap is 18. He stands 192 cm tall. He was born on 20th,May,1941. His balance on one leg(playing 'chateh') is legendary. He served with distinction as Prime Minister of Singapore for 14 years, 1991 to 2004. 'GP'GCT was 'General Practitioner' Goh Chok Tong, presently Senior Minister of Singapore. When Goh Chok Tong was Singapore Health Minister in 1982, he took the pulse of the nation and knew something was not right -- rising healthcare cost. Fever! His prescription? 1.Medisave, a scheme to let part of a member's Central provident Fund (CPF) savings be used to pay hospital expenses. Mr. Goh met with community leaders to discuss the plan. It was debated in Parliment, approved with major concessions and lauched in 1984. In 1984 , he was the Defence and Second Health Minister of Singapore. 2. Another major health initiative was to convert government hospitals into autonomous institutions to make them efficient. All the while , Mr.Goh pledged to keep health care affordable for poorer citizens in this island nation. 3.In 1993, Mr. Goh introduced MediFund to subsidise poorer patients financially. Overall, government spending on health care has more than doubled from S$520 million in 1990 to S$1.2 billion in 2000. Today, citizens live longer and healthier, and Singapore has the lowest infant mortality rate in the world. Would you as citizen accept anything less from your family doctor. GPs in Singapore take note, "Affordable healthcare" was one prescription in 'GP' Goh Chok Tong's 'medical bag'. What is in your bags????? Essential methods or drugs? Doctors who continue to keep us healthy should receive pay, while doctors who continue to keep us sick and prolong-drugged should not receive their pay. SALUTE to real GPs !!!!!

新加坡全科医生

 新加坡的所有全科医生都应该向 'GP'GCT 学习。

 谁是新加坡的“GP”GCT？

 “免费医疗保健”的理念是有缺陷的，无论它是多么善意，现在也是有缺陷的。 通过强调个人​​责任，我们遏制了免费医疗保健系统的危险，该系统只会导致滥用、过度使用、浪费和成本失控。

 他的父母教导他要如此光荣、慈善和富有同情心。

 学校的童子军运动教会了他领导力和团队合作精神。

 “做你自己。为什么要把已经复杂的世界复杂化。”

 简化复杂性。 不做作，不炒作，保持脾气，诚实待人，勤奋，节俭，直率，让事情和生活简单。 做你自己。 不要恐慌。

 他在九岁时失去了父亲：“有一天我被学校叫到我父亲的床边。他死于肺结核。他对我说的最后一句话是：”照顾你的母亲，照顾你的 兄弟姐妹们，好好学习”。那天晚上他去世了。所以我知道一个人早逝对一个家庭的意义。但如果我能提供帮助，我会为了他和他的家人而努力拯救一个早逝的人 . 因此，我会确保每个新加坡人都能负担得起基本的医疗保健”。

 童子军离开营地比他们找到营地时更好。 所以就像真正的球探精神一样，'GP'GCT 比他接手时更好地把新加坡交给了他的继任者。 他是莱佛士学院的童子军。 他最喜欢的马来食物是 lontong。 他的另一个首选小贩票价是char kuay teow。 他的高尔夫差点是 18 岁。他身高 192 厘米。 他出生于 1941 年 5 月 20 日。 他在一条腿上的平衡（玩“chateh”）是传奇。  1991 年至 2004 年，他以优异的成绩担任新加坡总理 14 年。

 'GP'GCT 是'全科医生' Goh Chok Tong，现任新加坡高级部长。

 当吴作栋在 1982 年担任新加坡卫生部长时，他掌握了国家的脉搏，并知道有些事情是不对的——医疗成本上升。 发烧！ 他的处方？

 1.Medisave，一种让会员的中央公积金（CPF）储蓄的一部分用于支付住院费用的计划。 吴先生与社区领袖会面，讨论该计划。 它在议会进行了辩论，获得了重大让步，并于 1984 年推出。1984 年，他担任新加坡国防部长和第二卫生部长。

 2. 另一个重大的卫生举措是将政府医院转变为自治机构以提高效率。 一直以来，吴先生承诺让这个岛国的贫困公民能够负担得起医疗保健。

 3. 1993年，吴先生引入MediFund资助贫困患者。 总体而言，政府在医疗保健方面的支出从 1990 年的 5.2 亿新元增加到 2000 年的 12 亿新元，翻了一番还多。如今，公民的寿命更长、更健康，新加坡的婴儿死亡率是世界上最低的。

 作为公民，您愿意接受家庭医生提供的任何东西吗？

 新加坡的全科医生注意到，“负担得起的医疗保健”是“全科医生”吴作栋的“医疗包”中的一张处方。 你的包里有什么？？？？？？ 基本方法还是药物？

 继续让我们保持健康的医生应该得到报酬，而继续让我们生病和长期吸毒的医生不应该得到报酬。

 向真正的全科医生致敬！！！！！！
