Lung cancer is the top 3 most common cancer in Singapore, and the number #1 cause of cancer death.
At ICTS, we have put together a health screening plan to screen for early lung cancer that may be too small to be picked up by X-rays. An early diagnosis means there’s a chance of as high as 80% of cure for lung cancer.
Dr Aneez D.B Ahmed (阿尼兹医生) is currently the Director & Senior Consultant Surgeon at International Centre for Thoracic Surgery in Mount Elizabeth Novena Specialist Centre, Singapore. He has been a practitioner in the field of thoracic surgery, with a special interest in thoracic oncology, for more than fifteen years.
After completion of his cardiothoracic training from National University Hospital, Singapore, he passed his Fellowship exams from the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh. Prior to starting his private practice, Dr Aneez served as the Head of Service of Thoracic Surgery in the Department of General Surgery in Tan Tock Seng Hospital (TTSH), Singapore.
His interest in robotic surgery led him to be recognised as the first in the ASEAN cohort to get a Level III Certificate Specialist training in Robotic Thoracic Surgery from the European College of Cardiothoracic Surgery (EACTS). With sabbaticals in Europe and USA for advanced training in Robotic Thoracic surgery, he now leads the training program for thoracic surgeons in ASEAN and South Asia. He then became the Vice President of Robotic Surgical Society of Singapore (RS3) in 2016 and subsequently being nominated as the President of RS3 in 2019.
We offer a full range of thoracic services, which includes surgery for the lungs, oesophagus, and chest wall.
At International Centre for Thoracic Surgery (ICTS), we believe in the marriage of technology and medicine to help improve lives. Robot-assisted surgery allows surgeon to perform procedures with more precision and control compared to conventional techniques. Robotic surgery is performed through tiny incisions, this means a quicker recovery for patients with shorter hospital stays, minimal scarring and reduced risk of infection.
Dr Aneez Ahmed is the first in the ASEAN cohort to get a Level III Certificate in Robotic Thoracic Surgery. He is also one of the only two accredited surgeons in Singapore trained to perform Robotic Thoracic Surgery, and the only proctor for Thoracic Surgeons in ASEAN.
ICTS operates as a medical subsidiary of Beyond Medical Group, a prominent healthcare organization based in Singapore.
