Teck Soon Medical Hall keeps traditional Chinese medicine relevant in the modern age
The 62-year-old family business eventually hopes to open a wellness experience centre offering massages and TCM treatments
[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.”
