Initial research has shown that by attaining a certain level of physical fitness before major surgery, elderly patients are more likely to recover well post-surgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the MILES programme was piloted in 2017, 910 elderly patients have undergone a structured care plan during their pre-surgery stage, which included physiotherapy, diet planning and consultations with doctors and nurses, so that they could attain a good level of physical fitness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mr Edmund Cheng, Chairman of Mapletree said, \u201cOne of Mapletree\u2019s corporate social responsibility (\u201cCSR\u201d) aims is to deliver positive impact to the community. We are happy to partner NUH in this programme as it gives us an opportunity to enhance the post-surgery recovery and lives of elderly patients.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Associate Professor (\u201cA\/P\u201d) Alfred Kow, Head and Senior Consultant at NUH\u2019s Division of Hepatobiliary &amp; Pancreatic Surgery, said, \u201cElderly patients are at higher risk of post-surgical complications compared with younger patients. Hence, it is of utmost importance that we optimise their health and fitness prior to surgery, which can be stressful for their bodies.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To mark this partnership and Mapletree\u2019s support, an appreciation event was held at the NUH MILES clinic on 19 October 2022. The event was graced by Mr Tan Wah Yeow, Mapletree\u2019s CSR Board Committee Member in the presence of Mr Wan Kwong Weng, Mapletree\u2019s Group Chief Corporate Officer, A\/Prof Kow, and Associate Professor Asim Shabbir, Head and Senior Consultant, Department of Surgery, NUH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the appreciation event, the NUH MILES team consisting of nurses, doctors, physiotherapists, dietitians and operations personnel shared the objectives, statistics and success stories of the MILES programme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Photos<br><\/span>Available for download here:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/MT_NUHMiles\">https:\/\/bit.ly\/MT_NUHMiles<\/a><br>Photo Credits: Mapletree Investments&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"398\" height=\"266\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mapletree.com.sg\/tachyon\/2024\/12\/Mapletree_NUH-Miles-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-689\" style=\"width:450px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mapletree.com.sg\/tachyon\/sites\/10\/2024\/12\/Mapletree_NUH-Miles-1.jpg?resize=398%2C266&amp;zoom=1 398w, https:\/\/www.mapletree.com.sg\/tachyon\/sites\/10\/2024\/12\/Mapletree_NUH-Miles-1.jpg?resize=398%2C266&amp;zoom=0.5 199w, https:\/\/www.mapletree.com.sg\/tachyon\/sites\/10\/2024\/12\/Mapletree_NUH-Miles-1.jpg?resize=398%2C266&amp;zoom=0.25 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 398px) 100vw, 398px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\" style=\"font-size:12px\"><em>\u200bA sponsor recognition plaque was presented by the NUH MILES team to Mr Tan Wah Yeow (third from left, back row), Mapletree\u2019s CSR Board Committee Member and Mr Wan (second from left), Mapletree\u2019s Group Chief Corporate Officer.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"398\" height=\"266\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mapletree.com.sg\/tachyon\/2024\/12\/Mapletree_NUH-Miles-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-690\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mapletree.com.sg\/tachyon\/sites\/10\/2024\/12\/Mapletree_NUH-Miles-2.jpg?resize=398%2C266&amp;zoom=1 398w, https:\/\/www.mapletree.com.sg\/tachyon\/sites\/10\/2024\/12\/Mapletree_NUH-Miles-2.jpg?resize=398%2C266&amp;zoom=0.5 199w, https:\/\/www.mapletree.com.sg\/tachyon\/sites\/10\/2024\/12\/Mapletree_NUH-Miles-2.jpg?resize=398%2C266&amp;zoom=0.25 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 398px) 100vw, 398px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\" style=\"font-size:12px\"><em>A\/P Kow (left), Head &amp;
