Dr. Edwin Tan received a notice of complaint from the Singapore Medical Council ("SMC") dated 4 July 2019. In the complaint, an allegation was made by a patient against Dr. Edwin Tan for medical negligence due to two pieces of retained gauze left in the patient's wound after a procedure involving an incision and drainage of the calf abscess (the "Procedure") in 2018 (the "Complaint"). The patient alleged that the surgeon in charge was Dr. Edwin Tan, and had requested for SMC to investigate on this matter.

Following an investigation conducted by the Complaints Committee of the SMC, the SMC issued a conclusion of inquiry to Dr. Edwin Tan on 23 June 2020, informing that the Complaint had been dismissed because the allegations founding the Complaint were misconceived as Dr. Edwin Tan had not been directly involved in the Procedure. To the best of Dr. Edwin Tan's knowledge and belief, no action has been taken against him and there have not been any further developments on this matter.
