The 4th St Jude-Viva Forum in Pediatric Oncology was held in Singapore from 3 to 5 March 2010. Senior Minister of State, Dr Balaji Sadasivan was Guest-of-Honour at the official Opening Ceremony of the Forum.
Organised by the St Jude Children's Research Hospital, Viva Foundation For Children With Cancer and National University Health System, this Forum brings together top world experts and regional leaders in the treatment and research of leukemia and lymphoma in children. The objective of the Forum was for participants to learn from each other in the areas of scientific research, clinical cases and identification of management issues.
Working with the organisers, the Singapore Cooperation Programme awarded Travelling Fellowships for 30 professionals from developing countries in the region to attend the Forum. The Forum was a useful platform for the professionals to interact and share experiences with the experts, bringing back home with them valuable new insights and knowledge.
