mobiledoctor® is born from atavism with feminism - since 1813 when a group of women volunteers formed the Ladies Benevolent Society to bring medical care to residents of Charleston, South Carolina. 200 years later, MW Global Pte Ltd has emerged as a pioneering force for hospital-at-home care in Singapore, challenging traditional approaches to eldercare by bringing medical services directly into the homes of Singapore's most vulnerable population since 2003.

Founder of MW Global, Dr. Madeleine Chew, shares the same vision as the women did back then: enabling elderly patients to age with dignity, and personalized medical attention in the comfort of their homes. Dr. Chew, who often jokes that she is 52 physically but 100 years old spiritually, started her mobiledoctor® services with nothing more than a backpack full of medical supplies and equipment with an unwavering commitment to transform eldercare. What started as a solo venture gradually evolved into a comprehensive healthcare ecosystem, growing from a single practitioner to a team of 40 dedicated professionals including nurses, transporters, emergency medical technicians, physiotherapists and pharmacists.

The core innovation of MW Global lies in its "hospital at home" model, which fundamentally reimagines healthcare delivery for superelds patients. By providing services like mobiledoctor®, mobilenurse, mobiletherapist, and mobiledoctorclinic, the organization offers tailored medical interventions that range from quick procedural visits to round-the-clock personalized nursing care. This approach not only addresses emergency medical needs but also preserves the emotional and social welfare of elderly patients who might otherwise be displaced from their familiar environments into hospitals.

Technological adaptability and portable medical equipment have been key to the success of MW Global. The team utilizes advance hospital-grade portable devices that enable complex medical procedures—from administering intravenous therapies to managing oxygen treatments—all within the comfort of a patient's home. This innovative approach has positioned the clinic at the forefront of home-based healthcare, even inspiring broader conversations within Singapore's healthcare ecosystem especially during the Covid Pandemic.

For MW Global, sustainability means increasing healthcare coverage by bringing an alternative form of healthcare to superelds patients—those over 90 years old. It is also to support the caregivers of these patients and enable them to find the most sustainable way to take care of their supereld. Their current patient roster, which includes individuals up to 109 years old, demonstrates their specialized expertise in providing compassionate, high-quality care to the most vulnerable members of society.

Guided by the principles of being caring, competent, and convenient, mobiledoctor® has transformed from a small, passionate startup to a respected healthcare provider. The SME100 Award is a testament to the power of empathy, innovation, and celebrates the power of women like Dr. Chew coming together to make change and care deeply for the community. This award also celebrates every male and female staff who have contributed to the story of MW Global and the lives of every patient.
