Dr Lam spoke of the “heartache” that comes from losing a healthcare worker, especially one who has had years of experience and training in his or her field of work. The hospital could not provide specific figures on how many have left.

“Some of the healthcare staff are already very well-trained in Singapore. Not only that, they have also become very localised, as part of the system and part of our society,” he said.

“I feel that to lose them, for example, after five to eight years’ experience as an operating theatre nurse or intensive care unit nurse — it’s very ‘heartache’.”

However, he also acknowledged that it is not a matter that can be easily tackled at an institutional level.
