Neurosurgery in Singapore

Neurosurgery was first done in 1956 by Sir Douglas Miller of Australia in 'A' Surgical Unit, Outram Road General Hospital. A section on neurosurgery was started in 1965 by Dr C F Tham at Thomson Road General Hospital. In September 1972, a new and fully equipped Department of Neurosurgery and Neurology was established. It is fully staffed and serves the whole of Singapore.
