Our Role

Raising Public Awareness
This is done through talks to various interested parties. The illness has also been highlighted in the media regularly. A quarterly newsletter “LUPUS LINK” is distributed to patients and the members of the Singapore Medical Association.

Patient Education
Educational talks are given bi-monthly on topics related to SLE. These topics cover medical issues as well as practical ones such as buying insurance and improving self-image. A comprehensive pamphlet on SLE is given out to newly diagnosed patients.

Patient Support
There are weekly hospital visits carried out by members who are well to encourage those who have been warded. At the monthly talks. there are psychotherapy sessions led by psychiatrists. Every Wednesday afternoon, members meet for a handicraft session or just have tea together.

Interaction Among Patients
Regular social functions such as barbecues are held to strengthen bonds between patients who often become good friends. Many keep in regular contact with each other.

Interaction with Foreign Lupus Group
Our association participates in regional and international patients’ conferences to learn from and share our experiences with these like-minded organizations in other parts of the world.

Assisting Patients
With increasing health costs, many patients face a considerable financial burden. Most need regular check-ups. Some need expensive forms of treatment. Our association has a well-organized Welfare Subsidy Scheme to help deserving patients cope with health costs.

Supporting Lupus Research
Our association actively supports research in SLE, hoping that the treatment of this illness will continue to improve as it has done so in the last ten years. Most patients nowadays can survive beyond ten years and many lead normal lives. We look forward to the day when a permanent cure can be found.
