Emeritus Senior Minister Goh Chok Tong underwent a successful surgery for prostate cancer today (Nov 22), according to a news release issued by the office of ESM Goh.
His doctor, Dr Sim Hong Gee, a senior consultant urologist in Gleneagles Hospital and visiting consultant at Singapore General Hospital (SGH), said Mr Goh is expected to make a full recovery as the cancer was localised and detected early.
Mr Goh will remain at SGH for a few days for observation.
