image.png There are many names that are very common in Singapore, especially in the medical field where recording someone's legal name may be important. While making errors adding the same name is a concern considering the application has already implemented features that informs the user and allow users to confirm or cancel a command extending it to the case of adding people with the same name should not be too much more work. Furthermore, since it is a Singapore based product unique ID such as NRIC or worker ID can be used as a unique field instead. Especially in Singapore where having a patients NRIC is likely an important field to have for the purposes of documentation and for websites such as HealthHub.
