On Christmas Eve (December 24) this year, Sian Chay Medical Institution distributed 200 love gift bags to patients of Marsiling, Boon Lay, Yio Chu Kang and 535 Geylang Road branches.
To add festive cheer to the season of giving, Chairman of Sian Chay Medical Institution Toh Soon Huat, JP and volunteers dressed up as Santa Claus in Marsiling branch to give food packages and festive greetings.
In an interview, Toh Soon Huat said that this year’s epidemic has made life difficult for all of us, so Sian Chay Medical Institution has made every effort to exhibit its long held motto as a “social enterprise under societal management for social service” and give away biscuits and other food items to the residents.
While distributing the gift bags, he saw two elderly residents with mobility problems coming to consult the physician. Chairman Toh Soon Huat immediately told staff to help the two elderly patients apply for free treatment for life.
As for another elderly patient with an oxygen tube inserted on a wheelchair, Sian Chay not only provided free medical treatment, but Chairman also gave him a red packet out of his own pocket.
