Professor Lim is a leading cardiologist in the Asia-Pacific region, serving as Permanent Secretary to the Asia-Pacific Society of Interventional Cardiology (APSIC). He has also:

  • Served as the Director of National Heart Centre and Chairman of the National Medical Research Council in Singapore.
  • Pioneered coronary intervention in China in 1986, and helped to establish numerous coronary intervention units throughout China.
  • Founded the Xiamen University Medical College in 1995 and was appointed its inaugural Dean for a five year term.
