Tan Tock Seng Hospital to find solution to superbug MRSA
Tan Tock Seng Hospital will be working with an Australian hospital to find a solution to MRSA - a superbug commonly found in hospitals that has become resistant to antibiotics. A trial will involve 440 patients from both countries and will kick-start in March 2016. While most attempts to fight MRSA normally focus on developing new, expensive drugs, their trial will reuse old drugs in different combinations, which has seemed effective according to intial research. - Linette Lai
David Cameron to meet EU leaders in a summit
British Prime Minister David Cameron will meet European Union leaders in a two-day summit starting from Thursday, to try to secure more favourable terms for Britain's membership of the EU. If Mr Cameron gets what he wants at the summit, he will take the deal into a proposed referendum, most likely in June. If Britons vote to remain in the bloc, then the deal would return to Brussels to be put in legal form. Parliament will be closely involved in that process alongside the Commission, the EU's executive arm, and the bloc's 28 leaders.
