    JUST days before Christmas, MaNaDr Clinic unwrapped a lump of coal in its stocking – confirmation that the healthcare provider’s licence to offer medical services in Singapore had been revoked.

    The news was not entirely unexpected. The writing had been on the wall since Oct 24, when the Ministry of Health (MOH) first announced its intention to strip MaNaDr of its licence.

    The intervening period up to last Friday (Dec 20) allowed the company to present its case to the ministry, outlining why it had fallen short, while MOH deliberated its fate.
