About Us
WHO ARE WE?
Project iRemember is a local health screening project initiated by Medicine students of the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore. Inaugurated in 2014, Project iRemember is in its 10th year of serving the community. With the help of student volunteers from NUS Medicine, Nursing and Pharmacy, we have held screenings in Taman Jurong, Woodlands, Tampines Changkat, Tiong Bahru, Jurong Spring, Chong Pang, and most recently in Eunos.
