Exploring Patient Safety and Quality Initiatives: A Special Visit by WHO-GALLOPS

We welcomed a distinguished delegation to Ng Teng Fong General Hospital (NTFGH) and Jurong Community Hospital (JCH) on 29 Feb. This visit formed part of the 4-day programme organised for the World Health Organisation (WHO) - Global Action for Leaders & Learning Organisations on Patient Safety (GALLOPS).
