It is my delight to
announce to you that Mr. Peter Tang won the National Health Group hospitals
Exemplary Patient Award 2011. There are 3 winners in total.
The Award is given to
recognize individuals who have contributed significantly to helping other
patients on a volunteer basis out of goodness of heart. In Peter’s case,
he has started the 3 NPC support groups in Singapore and has been consistent in
steering the NUH and TTSH support groups every month. He has indeed gone the
extra mile for the past few years and his work is now being formally
recognized.
He received the
award from the CEO of the NHG on the 30 September in a special NHG Quality Day
Ceremony. NHG Quality Day is a day to recognize other medical and non medical

hospitals that comprises Tan Tock Seng hospital, National Skin Centre, National
Health Group Polyclinics, NHG Diagnostics, Institute of Mental Health, National

Peter's reply:
As I sat down today to ponder how to write My thank you letter I
realised that this is not just common courtesy but from-a-heart THANKS to
all of you. Kind of overwhelmed by the congratulatory emails that I
have received .
This congratulatory email from Yian Ma ( below ) puts in
perspective the winning of the award that besides the individual effort there
is foremost the team effort which adds more effort and value to the work
of the NPC group and hence makes it more efficient .
