Following the Ministry’s initiative to provide additional funding of GDFM course fees to all non-trainee Medical Officers, the College will be extending the application deadline for GDFM (2008 – 2010) intake to 23 May 2008.
GDFM Co-payment Scheme
The Ministry of Health will be providing additional funding of GDFM course fees to all non-trainee Medical Officers, who are who are serving their bond within the clusters with less than 6 years of graduation from medical school. MOH will fund an additional $2,000 for the GDFM course fees. No bond will be imposed for this scheme, however, all applicants must abide by the Terms and Conditions stated in the GDFM form. The GDFM co-payment scheme will apply to all MOs who register for the 2008, 2009 and 2010 GDFM intakes. The application deadline for the co-payment scheme this year is on the 31 Oct 2008.
The co-payment scheme application form can be downloaded here.
Eligible applicants should attach and send both the GDFM application and co-payment scheme forms together. Applicants who have already submitted their GDFM application forms can just submit the GDFM co-payment scheme.

Suspension of
Sales of Nimesulide in
Singapore
: HSA's Update
Following the
suspension of the local sales of oral preparations containing nimesulide in June 2007, HSA has completed the review
of available data on nimesulide. Due to the
availability of other treatment options for the conditions that nimesulide is prescribed for, and including the fact
that the risk of serious liver-related adverse reactions, although rare,
cannot be effectively prevented in the local context, HSA has concluded
that the risks of nimesulide outweigh its risks.
Hence, the sales of oral nimesulide products will
remain suspended and the relevant product licenes will not be renewed upon expiry.
Details of this update can be found on the Health
Professionals Portal. Please log in at http://www.hpp.moh.gov.sg/
