The past century has been filled with many novel medical discoveries and even moonshots for the Obstetrics & Gynaecology (O&G) Department at the NUS Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, which is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year.

From producing Asia’s first in-vitro fertilised baby to cultivating an ever-expanding pool of award-winning scientists and clinicians, the department is now actively exploring future frontiers such as studying reproduction and fertility issues in the space-faring age.

Through its long and illustrious history, it has maintained an “unwavering commitment to maternal and child health”, noted Madam Halimah Yacob, President of the Republic of Singapore at the opening ceremony of the two-day Centenary Celebration Conference on October 8 and 9.

Some 573 O&G specialists and medical professionals attended the two-day hybrid conference held online and at Raffles City Convention Centre, where Madam Halimah officiated the launch of three new scholarships.
