At SG Diagnostics, we believe in contributing to the well-being of our community, especially during times of heightened health risks. On 6 July 2022, we donated more than 30,000 antigen rapid test (ART) kits to nursing homes and social service agencies across Singapore, including Dementia Singapore, Fei Yue Community Services, and the Thye Hua Kwan Moral Society.
This is not the first time we have extended such support. In November 2021, we contributed 24,000 ART kits to 20 organisations, reaffirming our role as a local diagnostics company that stands alongside healthcare front-liners and vulnerable communities.

Speaking at the donation drive held at SG Diagnostics, our CEO, Dr. Kate Qi shared that the company felt compelled to extend help to Singapore’s evolving healthcare needs, especially during times of rising COVID-19 cases. This also reflects our commitment as a local diagnostics company to provide timely support where it matters most.
Guest-of-honour MP Gan Thiam Poh who attended the donation drive, thanked SG Diagnostics for this contribution and emphasizing that active testing continues to play a crucial role in Singapore’s fight against COVID-19, even with one of the world’s highest vaccination rates. He highlighted the importance of remaining vigilant and prepared as the nation moves forward.
Beneficiaries also expressed gratitude, pointing out that the donations ease financial pressures and ensure sufficient test kits for seniors and vulnerable group who need them most. For nursing homes and social services agencies, frequent testing remains essential to safeguard the health of those most at risk.
This donation drive underscores of SG Diagnostics’ mission to make diagnostics more accessible and to stand alongside the community in times of need. Beyond technology, our goal is to contribute meaningfully to the well-being of communities and to support those who need it most. Together, we can build resilience and move toward a healthier future.
