In 2002, then Assistant Professor Chong Yap Seng saw an urgent need to encourage more healthcare professionals and scientists in the National University Hospital (NUH) and the National University of Singapore (NUS) to publish more publications in order to showcase their scientific studies that they have achieved. He noticed there was lack of administrative support and training for these junior staff members to motivate them to write and publish more. As such, he proposed to the senior management of the then Faculty of Medicine, NUS and NUH to create a dedicated unit for this cause. In 2003, the NUS-NUH Medical Publications Support Unit was formed, and later renamed NUHS Medical Publications Support Unit (PSU) with the formation of the National University Health System (NUHS) in 2008. In 2019, the Unit was further renamed NUHS Research Support Unit (RSU).<\/strong><\/p>\n

Since 2003, RSU has assisted over 1,200 medical and scientific manuscripts and conducted over 250 training courses and talks on publications-related topics.<\/p>\n
