Since she was young, Physician Ng Mei Yun had exposure to unwell people and developed a passion for wanting to better their health. Hence, she decided to pursue a course in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) at Nanyang Technological University (NTU). Her passion and interest drove her to excel in her studies and during her tenure at NTU, she was placed on the coveted Dean’s list.

She received valuable clinical experience during the two years she spent at the Beijing University of Chinese Medicine (BUCM). The turning point in her internship came during her final year, when she fully appreciated that not only is TCM not a relatively slower and longer treatment alternative, but it is in fact speedy and effective in treating renal diseases and other general conditions or symptoms.

Upon graduation, Mei Yun clinched a scholarship (out of only seven places offered) for a 3-year Master’s course in BUCM and under the prestigious mentorship of Dr Wang Bao Kui, Head of Nephrology in Dongfang Hospital, Mei Yun experienced for herself how TCM could successfully work as a standalone treatment or in tandem with Western medicine and it is this new holistic approach that she promises to bring to bear, in her practice of TCM. 

Mei Yun’s vision of engaging only physicians who share the same passion and ideals will augur well in enlightening patients and the public, paving the way for a new standard of healthcare.
