In 2005, The University of Warwick (UK) approached Dr Ng Fooi Chin, a highly regarded oral maxillofacial surgeon at Mt Elizabeth Hospital to organise and conduct the first Masters Programme (MSc) in Implant Dentistry in Singapore for dentists in Southeast Asia. With a zeal to contribute towards Singapore’s vision to be a global medical hub, Dr Ng rallied her colleagues Dr Lee Kwee Jin, a periodontist and A/Prof Ho Kee Hai, a leading oral maxillofacial surgeon in dental implant and former Head of the Department of Oral Maxillofacial Surgery, National University of Singapore, to co-lead the implant programme. A place was needed for the clinical training, hence, Ho Kee Hai & Partners was founded.
