Dr. David Tan Boon Chee, MBBS (Singapore)

Dr Tan graduated in 1969 with a Bachelor in Medicine and Bachelor in Surgery from the University of Singapore. He was appointed as the Medical Superintendent of Kwong Wai Shiu Free Hospital August 1973 – July 1975. Under his leadership, the hospital, which initially catered only to the Cantonese Clan, was made public and opened to all races. This was part of Dr Tan’s Charity work. Here, modern Medical Doctor’s, Chinese Physicians and Acupuncturists worked under the same roof. It was here that Dr Tan developed his passion and interests in Chinese herbs and his belief that herbs can be utilized to cure diseases including cancer.

After converting the hospital into a public one, he returned to his own clinic, Universal Peace Clinic, which he founded in 1972 until present. All these years Dr Tan continued his interests in herbal medicine and invested accordingly. The fruits of his work materialized in the formation of the bioDYNE Labs Group of Companies.
