Singapore's first medical school was established in 1905 at Sepoy Lines, the location of the first General Hospital. 2005 will kickoff a year long celebration of the centennial anniversary of medical education in Singapore. SGH has lined up a series of celebratory events to commemorate this important milestone in Singapore's medical history.
