Underpinned by the World Health Organisation (2015) framework of Healthy Ageing, we believed that ageing need not be feared but rather, celebrated as a phase where we can be and do what we value for as long as possible.
To this end, Evidence-Based Practice forms the core of our work at IGA, arising from a virtuous cycle of evidence creation from Research & Innovation to result in evidence transfer through Education & Learning and evidence-based solutions through Translation & Practice.
IGA is represented by a tree icon, which signifies our rootedness in the ethos and kampung spirit of Tan Tock Seng Hospital to withstand adversities and foster continuous growth.
Just as the trunk upholds the tree, IGA supports our clinicians (doctors, nurses, and allied health professionals) in their research, education, and translation endeavours.
The branches and leaves represent our outward extension into the community, where we cultivate partnerships, connect people and co-create programmes together.
