There was no cross-hospital teaching in May 2009 due to government-imposed restrictions on inter-hospital visits by doctors in reaction to swine flu / H1N1. In case people elsewhere in the world are wondering how many cases we had here: there were NO cases ever reported in Singapore during this period, nor are there any yet, thanks no doubt to measures such as these. Yes, it is safe to visit and attend the lectures!

The teaching programme is back on again (for now):
