Nexus Aesthetic Clinic Founder Dr. Samantha Tay Advocates for Enhanced Patient Safety in Aesthetic Medicine

Founder of Nexus Aesthetic Clinic addresses public concerns about injectables and highlights the importance of professional oversight.

SINGAPORE, Sept. 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Amid a growing public conversation about the safety and efficacy of aesthetic procedures, Dr. Samantha Tay, founder of Nexus Aesthetic Clinic, is emphasizing the importance of prioritizing patient safety through direct, doctor-led care. By personally conducting all patient consultations and administering all injectable treatments, Dr. Tay aims to provide a transparent and reassuring experience for individuals seeking aesthetic enhancements.

The demand for non-surgical aesthetic treatments, such as those for reducing fine lines or improving skin texture, has risen significantly. With this increase in popularity comes a greater need for patient education and awareness about the critical role a qualified medical doctor plays in ensuring safe and appropriate outcomes.

“Patient education is the cornerstone of responsible aesthetic practice,” says Dr. Samantha Tay. “It’s vital that patients understand the nature of their treatment, the qualifications of their provider, and the importance of a thorough medical consultation. My approach is to ensure every patient feels fully informed and confident in their decision-making process, which should always prioritize their long-term well-being and health.”

At Nexus Aesthetic Clinic, Dr. Tay handles the entire patient journey, from the initial assessment of skin concerns like pigmentation and fine lines to the administration of treatments and post-procedure follow-up. This hands-on model ensures consistency of care and allows patients to build a trusted relationship with their medical provider. Dr. Tay’s extensive medical background and commitment to ongoing professional development further support the clinic’s focus on maintaining high standards of patient care.

By championing a practice model where a medical doctor is central to every step of the treatment process, Nexus Aesthetic Clinic reinforces a message of safety, professionalism, and informed patient choice in the aesthetics field.

Global Report puts Evidence as Heart of Better Philanthropy to Tackle Complexity

Tanoto Foundation presents findings at AVPN Global Conference


HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 12 September 2025 – At a time when governments, development agencies, and NGOs strive to address complex social challenges, the necessity to demonstrate real, sustainable results has never been greater. To remain effective, philanthropy must move with purpose, not only to fund initiatives but also to embrace measurement and evidence as a compass for decision-making and meaningful social change. To help the philanthropic sector do good, better, Tanoto Foundation launched The Evidence Behind Better Philanthropy report at the AVPN Global Conference in Hong Kong.

The study, developed in partnership with the Centre for Evidence and Implementation (CEI), provides a first-of-its-kind comparative analysis of how leading global foundations practice monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL), a much-discussed but often elusive cornerstone of effective philanthropy. By combining in-depth interviews with foundation leaders and an extensive review of global practice, the report offers timely insights from some of the world’s most influential funders on how evidence is shaping strategy, guiding adaptation, and enabling more collaborative approaches to impact across diverse and complex contexts.

Benny Lee, CEO of Tanoto Foundation, said: “For philanthropy to do good, it must also do better, because today’s challenges are more complex and interconnected. At Tanoto Foundation, we see evidence not just as a tool for accountability, but as a compass for strategy. By embedding monitoring, evaluation, and learning at the heart of decision-making, we can steward resources more effectively and contribute to meaningful, lasting social change.”

The report identifies 10 key findings, clustered into three broad themes for the philanthropic sector:

1. Strategy and Decision-Making: Embedding evidence into strategy through integrated “SMEL” (Strategy, Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning) ensures programmes are responsive and adaptive, reducing wasted resources and increasing policy effectiveness.

2. Culture and Capacity: A learning culture, backed by senior leadership and grantee capacity-building, enables funders and implementers to course-correct in real time – critical for large-scale reforms and systems change.

3. Tools and Ecosystem for Impact: Flexible evaluation methods, a focus on contribution over attribution, and strategic communication help funders, governments, and NGOs align their efforts and scale what works.

Murni Leo, Global Head of Measurement, Learning and Evaluation at Tanoto Foundation, added: “This study reflects our belief that learning should not stop at compliance, but drive continuous improvement. At Tanoto Foundation, we have embedded MEL into how we design programmes, test assumptions, and adapt in real time. By sharing global practices openly, we hope to encourage a culture of collaboration where funders and partners alike can strengthen their use of evidence. When the sea rises, all boats rise—and MEL is one way to lift the sector together.”

The report aims to support decision-makers across sectors to design more effective interventions, strengthen accountability, and collaborate for systemic change.

The full report is now available and can be downloaded via the Tanoto Foundation website.

Prioritizing Quality and Patient Safety with Digital Transformation, RS Pondok Indah Group Becomes First in Indonesia to Achieve HIMSS EMRAM Stage 7

Setting new standards in healthcare quality and patient safety through digital transformation.

JAKARTA, Indonesia, Sept. 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — RS Pondok Indah Group (Pondok Indah Hospital Group) has made history as the first hospital group in Indonesia to achieve the HIMSS Electronic Medical Record Adoption Model (EMRAM) Stage 7, the world’s highest quality standard for assessing digital maturity and data management in hospitals. This recognition was awarded to all three hospitals under RS Pondok Indah Group—RS Pondok Indah – Pondok Indah, RS Pondok Indah – Puri Indah, and RS Pondok Indah – Bintaro Jaya—marking a major milestone in Indonesian healthcare.

The HIMSS surveyor team conducted an assessment of digital validations in patient medication administration based on patient medical history, blood transfusions, and expressed breast milk management, to ensure accuracy and enhance patient safety.

Stage 7 reflects the group’s commitment to building a fully digital and paperless environment where patient safety, data security, and quality of care go hand in hand. The hospital has invested in secure and reliable systems to protect medical records, maintain confidentiality, and ensure uninterrupted access to information—even during unexpected disruptions.

According to dr. Yanwar Hadiyanto, MARS, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of RS Pondok Indah Group, “This achievement represents our commitment to delivering the highest quality of care through comprehensive and continuous digitalization. By strengthening hospital information systems, integrating digital medical devices, and building secure infrastructure, we aim to optimize patient safety and service quality while empowering our medical teams with the updated knowledge and tools they need to make the best decisions.”

Safer Care through Automation and Standardization

A key milestone in this journey is the automation of vital signs recording and the direct connectivity of medical devices with the hospital information system. This automatically captures data into electronic medical records (EMRs) without manual input, reducing human error and improving accuracy.

Medical data is now recorded in a structured and standardized format, making it consistent, reliable, and always available. For doctors this strengthens treatment planning, while for patients it reduces errors and keeps data secure.

Engaging Patients in Their Own Care

Patient engagement has become a cornerstone of RS Pondok Indah Group’s digital transformation. The Smart Medical Broadcaster (SMB) which available in hospital rooms allows patients to access treatment history, lab results, and radiology reports. The same portal is available via the RSPI Mobile app and the hospital website, keeping patients connected even outside the hospital.

For dialysis patients, the group has introduced Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROM), which help doctors better understand patients’ quality of life and prescribe care more precisely. By tailoring therapy to each patient’s condition, PROM supports more personalized treatment and improved clinical outcomes.

The group has also simplified outpatient visits through a fully integrated digital journey. With a single QR code, patients can check in, see their doctor, and collect prescriptions in one seamless process. This implementation simplifies the patient journey into a faster, more convenient, and efficient experience.

Patient Safety as the Foundation of Digital Transformation

Beyond patient engagement, the Group has enhanced its clinical decision-making systems. A clinical decision support system, integrated with Computerized Practitioner Order Entry (CPOE), provides real-time alerts to guide doctors based on each patient’s condition, helping minimize risks and ensure safer care.

Digital validation processes have also been implemented for medication administration, blood transfusions, and expressed breast milk. These safety measures confirm that the right treatment reaches the right patient, preventing potentially dangerous errors. Together, these measures demonstrate how technology is embedded in daily care to strengthen accuracy and patient safety.

Imam Daru Nurwijayanto, Chief Information Technology Officer of RS Pondok Indah Group, explained, “We are expanding integration across devices, applications, and external systems to improve clinical and administrative operations. This also enhances our ability to use data for better decisions. Above all, every system is designed with a patient-centric approach—relevant, easy to use, and effective in improving care. The goal is a smoother patient journey and, most importantly, improved patient safety.

Building a Lasting Digital Culture

The HIMSS EMRAM Stage 7 achievement is more than a certification—it proves that digitalization has become part of RS Pondok Indah Group’s culture. Technology is now an essential element of daily practice, embraced by doctors, nurses, and staff across the organization.

“This milestone motivates us to continue our digital transformation,” added dr. Yanwar. “With a strong digital foundation, we will keep innovating to provide care that is safe, high-quality, internationally accredited, and consistently patient-focused, and strengthen our role as a trusted healthcare leader in Indonesia.”

About RS Pondok Indah Group

RS Pondok Indah Group is a private hospital group that manages three hospitals in Indonesia (RS Pondok Indah– Pondok Indah, RS Pondok Indah – Puri Indah and RS Pondok Indah – Bintaro Jaya) that provide leading-edge health services by prioritizing quality and patient safety. RS Pondok Indah Group is supported by hundreds of competent and professional medical personnel by utilizing medical technology and digital hospital information systems, in order to provide excellent health services.

The three hospitals within the RS Pondok Indah Group have been fully accredited by KARS (Hospital Accreditation Committee) and received international standard accreditation from the Joint Commission International (JCI).

Creature Comforts Veterinary Group opens Hong Kong Island’s first purpose-built Fear Free® 24-hour animal hospital

East Island 24-Hour Animal Hospital spans 11,000 sq ft across two floors, offering Fear Free® design, advanced medicine, and affordable premium care with extended consultation hours.


HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 12 September 2025 – Creature Comforts Veterinary Group, with over 23 years of history in Hong Kong, proudly introduces the East Island 24-Hour Animal Hospital in Shau Kei Wan. Spanning 11,000 square feet across two floors, it is Hong Kong Island’s first veterinary hospital purpose-built around Fear Free® principles.

The facility offers a calming environment with dog-and-cat separation, soundproof feline wards, Rainbow Rooms for sensitive moments, and family lounges. Families can also access extended consultations until midnight, with seamless 24/7 emergency support.

Behind the design lies advanced medical capability: real-time ICU monitoring, a dedicated blood bank with guaranteed delivery, laser therapy, a three-times larger isolation ward and expanded diagnostics (ultrasound, echocardiography, endoscopy). A CT scanner and a mobility-friendly animal lift will be added later this year.

High-quality veterinary medicine should not be limited to a select few. Premium care doesn’t need to come with premium pricing,” said Dr David, Medical Director.

When animals are calm, they recover better. And when owners feel safe, they can focus on supporting their pets rather than panicking,” added Dr Kaylen, Vet Manager.

The hospital is also actively developing charity give-back projects, such as Adoption Day events with Paws United Charity, to support the community and promote pet adoption.

For Creature Comforts, which began in 2002 as Hong Kong’s first house-call vet service, expanded with the Veterinary TKO Center in 2021, and now cares for more than 40,000 pets across the city, the new hospital is both a milestone and a promise: Fear Free®, advanced, and accessible care for every family.
