Be a member of the Rheumatoid Arthritis Society (Singapore) Click here to apply What is the Rheumatoid Arthritis Society (Singapore)? The Rheumatoid Arthritis Society is a support group for patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Misconceptions about the disease and the desire for a rapid cure may lead the patient to seek unproven therapy, resulting in delay in appropriate treatment. Drug treatment is also not without its potential toxicity and patients may not comply with the treatment if they are not warned of the possible side effects. Thus there is a need to educate the patients about their disease. As would be expected, some patients and their families will require a great amount of support to cope with the disease. It is for the above reasons that our society was formed, to provide a support group for patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Our members comprise mainly of patients, their family members, doctors, therapists and well wishers. Objectives of the Society To provide an organisation that renders moral support, encouragement and advice to patients with rheumatoid arthritis. To promote patient education and public awareness of the disease. To provide financial assistance to needy patients and/or their family. To co-operate with relevant public and private agencies in implementing policies and services for persons with rheumatoid arthritis. To encourage research related to rheumatoid arthritis. Medical Welfare Fund Our society has a welfare fund for needy patients who require financial assistance. Applicants must have rheumatoid arthritis, be on regular follow up at a government or restructured hospital and meet certain criteria. For enquiries please call Ms Melisa Wong, Tel: 6357 8230.
