A Singapore doctor was suspended for 3 years for giving unproven hormone treatments to patients with normal levels, citing financial motives and patient harm.
Dr. Wong Yoke Meng, a Singaporean physician with over 40 years of experience, was suspended for 36 months—the maximum penalty—after being found guilty of prescribing unproven hormone treatments to 18 patients with normal hormone levels and no qualifying symptoms.
The Singapore Medical Council’s tribunal upheld 40 charges, including inappropriate hormone prescriptions and poor record-keeping, citing financial motives behind his anti-ageing wellness program, which charged up to $12,000 annually.
Some patients suffered harm, including elevated testosterone and tremors.
The tribunal rejected his defense, noting the lack of scientific support for anti-ageing hormone therapy and the risks of combining unapproved treatments.
His clinic remains operational.
