SINGAPORE: Singaporeans' sexual activities may be among the
world's lowest, but the work of Singapore doctors in the field of
sexual medicine and impotence research is definitely top among
their peers.
In fact, as recognition of Singapore as a pioneering and leading
Asian centre in this area and its contribution in the world arena,
Dr Ganesan Adaikan, a clinical sexologist from the National
University Hospital, has been elected as the 8th President of the
International Society for Sexual Medicine.
He is the first Asian to be appointed to that post.
As President of ISSM, Dr Adaikan, who's also a professor with the
National University of Singapore's Department of Obstetrics and
Gynaecology, will be coordinating the work of some 100
international experts in this field.
Dr Adaikan, who is a world renowned expert in the field of erectile
dysfunction, is also looking into boosting research on improving
treatment and patient care for sexual dysfunctions in both men and
women. - CNA
