Ren Ci Hospital and Medicare Centre
- Ren Ci Hospital and Medicare Centre
Ren Ci Hospital and Medicare Centre (Chinese: 仁慈医院及医护中心) is a charity/hospital mainly treating long term aged patients in Singapore. Its main branch is at Buangkok View, north of Hougang while the other branch is located at Jalan Tan Tock Seng at Moulmein. Despite its Buddhist origins, the hospital welcomes patients of all races and religions.
The hospital's CEO Venerable Shi Ming Yi, would always perform stunts to help the patients to raise funds in the annual charity programme on Channel U since the first charity programme started in 2003.
Ren Ci made headlines when the Ministry of Health (MOH) announced that the charity is being probed for 'possible irregularities in certain financial transactions'.
An audit found that the charity had made interest-free loans amounting to a few million dollars to various companies since 1996. There were discrepancies between what the charity recorded it lent and what the companies involved recorded as having borrowed.
The Charity's IPC (Institute of Public Character) status is currently suspended as a result of the outcome of the investigation.
