在頭頸外科與外科腫瘤領域，陳教授擁有卓越的專業成就，並在醫療領導方面貢獻良多。2013 年，他推動成立 SingHealth－杜克大學醫學院頭頸疾病中心。擔任外科部門主任期間，他主導新加坡中央醫院外科部與新加坡國家癌症中心外科腫瘤部門的整合，以優化外科病人的照護品質。值得一提的是，在新冠疫情期間，他迅速建立了一個 3,700 床的社區照護設施，確保醫院的收治能力得以維持。

在全球健康公平方面，陳教授也積極投入。他創立了「全球外科計畫」，並發起「亞洲外科領袖聯盟」，專注於因疫情影響而受衝擊的亞洲外科醫療體系，並制定增強醫療體系韌性的策略。他亦致力於成本效益導向的創新，與美國杜克大學合作研發低成本的可攜式柔性鼻咽內視鏡，讓資源有限地區也能更容易進行診斷。

陳教授畢業於新加坡國立大學醫學院，並於英國布里斯托大學取得博士學位；之後赴法國巴黎古斯塔夫魯西研究所（Institute Gustave Roussy）接受頭頸外科腫瘤進階訓練。他同時擁有新加坡國立大學高階管理碩士學位（EMBA）。

Clinical Associate Professor Tan Hiang Khoon is a dynamic clinician leader who is currently serving as the CEO Singapore General Hospital. His career trajectory includes several key leadership roles within SingHealth. From 2021 to 2024, he served concurrently as Group Director of the International Collaboration Office (ICO) at SingHealth and Director of the SingHealth Duke-NUS Global Health Institute (SDGHI). Additionally, he took on the role of Deputy CEO (Future Health System), SGH from 2022 to 2024. Prior to these appointments, Dr Tan was the Chair of Surgery from 2015 to 2022.

With a distinguished career in head and neck surgery and surgical oncology, Dr Tan has made significant strides in healthcare leadership. He spearheaded the creation of the SingHealth Duke-NUS Head and Neck Disease Centre in 2013. As Chair of surgery, he led the integration of the Division of Surgery at Singapore General Hospital with the Division of Surgical Oncology at the National Cancer Centre Singapore to optimise care of surgical patients. Notably, during the COVID-19 pandemic, he established a 3,700-bed Community Care Facility, ensuring hospital capacities were maintained.

Dr Tan is dedicated to global health equity; he founded the Global Surgery Programme and initiated the Asian Surgical Leaders Network, which addresses the pandemic's impact on surgical health systems in Asia and develops strategies for health system resilience. His commitment to cost-conscious innovation led to a partnership with Duke University, resulting in a low-cost portable flexible nasopharyngoscope, enhancing diagnostic access in lower-resourced settings.

Dr Tan holds a medical degree from the National University of Singapore, a Ph.D. from the University of Bristol, and advanced training in head and neck surgical oncology from the Institute Gustave Roussy in Paris. He also earned an Executive Master in Business Administration from the National University of Singapore.
