    THESE days Singapore Medical Group (SMG) barely resembles the once ailing entity that it was.

    In 2013, the Catalist-listed group faced significant headwinds and losses due to the changing medical landscape in Singapore: declining medical tourism, changing economics of healthcare and growing trend of consolidation of medical practices.
