About Campaign
ends 30 Sep 2021, 11:59 PMDr Michael Toh was born in 1945 and passed away in 2015.
Dr Toh had an intimate connection with medical students burdened financial struggles; his father passed away in his first year of medical school. He was able to complete his education with financial assistance of a close family friend, whom he never forgot - constantly reminding his family to pay it forward.
After completing his postgraduate radiology training on the back of a scholarship to the UK, He returned to Singapore in 1974 and served in the public sector till 1982 where he went into private practice and worked as a consultant radiologist and the founding partner of Radiologic Clinic Pte Ltd. He later served as head/chief radiologist and/or medical director in multiple companies, and was last a visiting consultant at Changi General Hospital.
Dr Toh deeply felt for medical education, and continued to contribute to the teaching of residents under his care even in his last days.
The SMA-Dr Michael Toh Kok Kuan Medical Students' Assistance Fund is the inaugural joint named bursary set up between his Estate and SMA Charity Fund (SMACF) in 2017, created in loving memory of Dr Toh.
