Dr Ang previously served as a senior consultant paediatrician with over 45 years of paediatric practice, and as founder and chairman of the specialist Thomson Paediatric group practice based at Thomson Medical Centre since its inception in 1978. He is now retired and spends time giving public lectures on medical nutrition.
Dr Ang wrote a set of two books which was launched in 2015 - The first book is “The Wonders of Nutrition” and the second is “The Roadmaps to Recovery”. Written with a social agenda to improve people’s knowledge of good nutrition and arm them with the practical skill to “use good food as medicine”.
