The Ministry of Health (MOH) commenced an inquiry into Ren Ci Hospital & Medicare Centre (Ren Ci) under Section 8 of the Charities Act on 7 November 2007, following the discovery of some possible irregularities in certain financial transactions involving Ren Ci and other external organisations. Ernst & Young Associates (EYA) was appointed to conduct the inquiry.
In the course of the inquiry, a few financial transactions could not be satisfactorily explained. In order to seek greater clarity into these transactions, MOH has referred them to the Commercial Affairs Department (CAD), for its assistance.
MOH will be seeking the cooperation of Ren Ci’s Board and staff to assist in CAD’s investigation.
Ren Ci’s Patient Care Services will Continue
MOH will continue its subsidies to Ren Ci for its patient care services to ensure that patients will continue to receive care and medical treatment. We are confident that the Ren Ci Board, helmed by Mr Chua Thian Poh who assumed Chairmanship since September 2007, will ensure that Ren Ci’s current services and day-to-day operations remain intact and undisrupted.
