As the population rapidly ages, more will be required of Singapore’s urologists. Better services will be demanded, for less. The framework has been laid, the terms of reference clarified and the path set. Tomorrow’s urologists must use expensive new technology discerningly, and with the assistance of local guidelines. They will try to improve the public’s knowledge of urology; will continue to improve patient care through careful training programmes and checks, superspecialization and continuing medical education activities; and will continue to develop the infrastructure for research and contribute new knowledge to the field.
Last but not least, they will try to help communities abroad which lack basic urological services in acknowledgement that local urologists were not alone in developing urology in Singapore. Without the generous sharing of knowledge and encouragement from the regional and international urologists, urology in Singapore would not have come of age.
