SINGAPORE - Changi General Hospital (CGH) says it has improved its records system, which was criticised by the Apex Court for causing a delay in the diagnosis of a cancer patient.
Earlier this week, the Court of Appeal found CGH guilty of negligence that led to a delay in the treatment of lung cancer in Ms Noor Azlin Abdul Rahman, 39. With an earlier diagnosis, the cancerous tumour could have been surgically removed before it spread beyond her lung. The cancer has since spread to her brain.
