NNI, IMH ink MOU to strengthen neuroscience and psychiatry partnership

This aims to leverage their commonalities and complementary strengths for the public.

The National Neuroscience Institute (NNI) and Institute of Mental Health (IMH) have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to strengthen their partnership in the fields of neuroscience and psychiatry.

The MOU will reportedly make it easier for patients to be cross-referred when needed.

NNI CEO Associate Prof. Au Wing Lok said that there are many opportunities for the NNI and IMH to learn from each other "at a clinical level."

NNI and IMH will compare their different approaches to their specialties in order to manage brain conditions and the advances in the fields of neuroscience and psychiatry.

CEO Associate Prof. Daniel Fung highlighted the connection between neurology and mental health, saying that many of the earliest psychiatrists were trained as neurologist.

“This shared history is reflected in our understanding that mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety and addiction – conditions that affect one in seven Singaporeans – are deeply connected to neurobiological processes,” Fung said.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
