Latar belakang
Dr Roger Tan is an nephrologist practising at Gleneagles Hospital,
Singapore. While he treats various kidney conditions, he
subspecialises in dialysis, kidney transplant, chronic kidney failure
and hypertension. He also has a keen interest in treating
autoimmune kidney conditions, such as lupus nephritis, which is an
inflammation of the kidney caused by an autoimmune disease.
Dr Tan is one of the few transplant physicians to perform high-risk
kidney transplants, such as ABO-incompatibility, crossmatch
positive, as well as 2nd kidney transplants. He was also the first
renal specialist in Singapore to perform the peritoneal catheter
insertion using peritoneoscopy. This minimally invasive method
shortens the length of hospital stays for kidney disease patients,
such as those with chronic kidney disease or renal failure.
Dr Tan attained his Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery at
the National University of Singapore in 1997. He then undertook
basic training in internal medicine at the National University
Hospital (NUH) and Tan Tock Seng Hospital (TTSH). He also
obtained advanced specialty training in renal medicine at the
Singapore General Hospital (SGH).
During his tenure at SGH, Dr Roger implemented numerous quality
improvement initiatives. He was a work group member in drafting
guidelines
on medical practice at the Ministry of Health, Singapore. He was also
the honorary treasurer and honorary secretary in 2008 and 2009
respectively at the
Singapore Society of Nephrology. He is currently a visiting
consultant to National Kidney Foundation.
Dr Tan has been invited to various regional centres such as
Vietnam, Indonesia and Thailand to train fellow renal physicians in
peritoneal dialysis. With an increase in chronic kidney disease
cases, Dr Tan has also been actively involved in educating the
public in the prevention and treatment of kidney diseases and renal
failure at public symposiums.
