RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS SOCIETY(SINGAPORE)

What is the Rheumatoid Arthritis Society (Singapore)?

The Rheumatoid Arthritis Society is a support group for patients with the rheumatoid arthritis.
Misconceptions about the disease and the desire for a rapid cure may lead the patient to seek unproven
therapy, resulting in delay in appropriate treatment. Drug treatment is also not without its potential
toxicity and patients may not comply with the treatment if they are not warned of the possible side
effects. Thus there is a need to educate the patients about their disease. As would be expected, some
patients and their families will require a great amount of support to cope with the disease. It is for the
above reasons that our society was formed, to provide a support group for patients with rheumatoid
arthritis. Our members comprise mainly of patients, their family members, doctors, therapists and well
wishers.

Objectives of the Society

1) To provide an organisation that renders moral support, encouragement and advice to patients
with rheumatoid arthritis.

2) To promote patient education and public awareness of the disease. Educational talks on
topics related to rheumatoid arthritis will be given on a regular basis.

3) To provide financial assistance to needy patients and/or their family.

4) To co-operate with relevant public and private agencies in implementing policies and services
for persons with rheumatoid arthritis.

5) To encourage research related to rheumatoid arthritis.
