    [SINGAPORE] Despite the ubiquity of Western medicine, Teck Soon Medical Hall still sees a role for traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) – and hopes its modern approach can convince younger customers of this, too.

    Chow Chew Li, Teck Soon Medical Hall’s third-generation owner, said: “Nowadays, many people go for modern medicine, but we believe traditional Chinese medicine still has a place and can complement it.

    “Our goal is to help patients improve their quality of life, and we hope TCM can fill some of the gaps that modern medicine cannot.”
