A resident physician at Changi General Hospital (CGH) was suspended last week following allegations of molestation.
The specialist, who works in the hospital's Anaesthesia and Surgical Intensive Care department, had allegedly touched the buttocks of a nurse in an operating theatre earlier this month.
The nurse then reported the doctor, in his 30s, to a senior nurse, who brought the matter to the nursing director, sources told The Sunday Times.
