Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine and the Legacy of Giving
It is through the generosity of our donors that the Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine has been able to provide our students with the opportunity to pursue a quality medical education and training, and for our faculty to engage in transformative research with the potential to impact medicine and healthcare in Singapore and the rest of the world.
Our foremost benefactor is the Lee Foundation, one of the path breakers in philanthropy in Singapore. Believing in the mission of the School to produce the doctors of tomorrow, a landmark gift of $150 million was given to the School in January 2011 for student financial aid, and to further medical education and research.
In recognition, the School was named Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine, after the founder of the Lee Foundation, renowned business tycoon and philanthropist Tan Sri Dato Lee Kong Chian (1893 – 1967).
Other major benefactors to the School include the Toh Kian Chui Foundation and the Estate of Irene Tan Liang Kheng which made gifts of $20 million and $12 million in 2013 and 2018 respectively to further medical education and research. In 2019, to recognise outstanding achievement by our graduating students, three eminent Singapore medical luminaries made gifts to establish the Chee Yam Cheng Gold Medal in Professionalism, Ethics, Law, Leadership and Patient Safety (PELLS); the Chew Chin Hin Gold Medal in Clinical Medicine; and the Low Cheng Hock Gold Medal in Surgery.
