In his speech, Dr S R E Sayampanathan addressed the inductees of their obligation to maintain high standard of professional and ethical practices: "As a member of the medical profession, you are held in the highest esteem by the public and society. They depend on a reliable and trustworthy healthcare system and look to you for the relief of their suffering and ailments. This trust is contingent on the profession maintaining the highest standards of professional practice and conduct. You must therefore strive to continually strengthen the trust that has been bestowed on the profession."
Mr Amrin Amin highlighted the role of the Academy and its close collaboration with the Ministry of Health: "The Ministry of Health (MOH) regularly engages the Academy and its Fellows on clinical practice guidelines, professional standards, adoption and utilisation of new technologies, and the development and practice of specialists."
