The Aeromedical Centre was inaugurated in October 1982 at Paya Lebar Air Base. It was conceived by MAJ (Dr) Lim Meng Kin, who saw the need for a centre of excellence that could develop deeper expertise in specialised clinical aviation medicine, aeromedical training for aircrew, and research on aircrew safety and performance. Located at the former Paya Lebar Airport's old departure hall, it was fully equipped with laboratory facilities.
