SINGAPORE : The National Kidney Foundation (NKF) says it is introducing its new permanent CEO next Monday.

The candidate is likely to be Chief Operating Officer Eunice Tay of the National Neuroscience Institute (NNI).

NNI told Channel NewsAsia that Mrs Tay has tendered her resignation and her last day at NNI is on April 13.

Mrs Tay was a legal officer at Tan Tock Seng Hospital before joining NNI.

Her management experience in the medical sector is believed to be what makes her a suitable replacement for Professor Goh Chee Leok.

Last July, Health Minister Khaw Boon Wan seconded Professor Goh from the National Skin Centre, where he was the Medical Director, to help NKF's interim Chairman Gerard Ee clean up the organisation.

Prof Goh's immediate priority was to review the subsidy selection criteria for dialysis patients.

This he did, by the end of last year.

Since then, he had made known his wish to return to his clinical practice once NKF has found its permanent CEO. - CNA/de
