The Visiting Physician programme builds on this approach by bringing world-class doctors from a range of medical specialties to work alongside SSMC teams, offering additional clinical expertise where it adds value to patient care.
Visiting physicians contribute within their specific field of practice and work in collaboration with multidisciplinary teams across the hospital. Their involvement supports careful clinical decision-making and allows patients to benefit from international medical expertise within the SSMC care setting.
Whether you are a patient seeking a specialist opinion, or a clinician looking to support a patient through collaborative care, the programme helps connect patients with experienced specialists working alongside SSMC teams.
Visiting physicians engage with SSMC through defined clinical activities that align with hospital policies and patient needs. The programme is designed to provide patients with broader access to international medical experts, supporting care for both acute and long-term conditions within a coordinated clinical framework.
