COVID-19 Notification
With the current COVID-19 pandemic, we are making changes to the way we conduct our consulting sessions. Telehealth consultations are now available for everybody. You do not need to leave the comfort of your own home to have a chat with Mr Han. If you have an I-phone, we can set up a FaceTime video call. If you have WhatsApp, we can use this medium. If you require help with these things, Christine, our friendly secretary can help guide you. Of course, if you don’t have the technology, we can always conduct a telephone consultation.
