Question
Thank you for asking this interesting question.
Doctors first responsibility is to treat the patient. We are bound by the law to "notify" the CNB, but what CNB want to do with the information, I don't know.
But so far, none of our patients have been arrested in the hospital grounds.

Great question. Some of my answers below will be factual, and some will be personal opinions. Sorry for the verbose answer, as I hope that it will help other readers too. Fact: All doctors with FAMS are specialists, but not all specialists have FAMS. You need to first be a specialist, before applying to be a Fellow of the Academy of Medicine. Think of it like an exclusive members club, for specialists in Singapore. It is not a board certification, as they would have completed their “board specialty exams” by then.
Actually PPC and DC (the medicine inside mesolipo injections) are well studied in medical literature. However, the dosage and protocols are not fixed. Also, I heard from one of my mentors that many medical companies started producing substandard quality mesolipo drugs which may not have the needed concentration for effective results. So MOH decided to do a blanket ban on it just to protect the patients from possibly ineffective brands. Nobody really knows the real reason, the truth is still out there!
