Inclusion is More Than a Policy — It’s the Everyday Things That Count 🌟

What does an inclusive workplace actually look like? It isn’t found in a handbook or a corporate manifesto; it’s found in the Radiology department of Mount Elizabeth Novena Hospital, in the meticulous work of individuals like Gerald Wong.

To commemorate Autism Awareness Month, IHH SG CEO, Dr Peter Chow, joined Susan Ng on CNA 93.8FM’s "Our Town" podcast for a conversation that moved beyond the big picture. Alongside Autism Resource Centre Singapore / Pathlight School Executive Director, Ms Jacelyn Lim, and Gerald himself, they shared their perspectives on a journey of learning and transformation, a strong ecosystem of support and open-mindedness, and providing dignity of work to every individual.

This Autism Awareness Month, we’re looking beyond the big picture and into the small, everyday moments that truly shape inclusion.
From a simple interaction in your neighborhood to meaningful roles in the workplace, how can all of us play a part in building a community where persons on the autism spectrum feel supported, understood and empowered? We discuss creating pathways to independence and why inclusion starts with each of us.

This Earth Day, we reaffirm our commitment to caring not just for people, but for the planet we share.

Across our hospitals, Gleneagles Hospital, Mount Elizabeth Hospital, Mount Elizabeth Novena Hospital, and Parkway East Hospital, we have reduced 714 kg of CO₂e in 2025 by adopting GUAVA’s Lower Carbon Branded Dry Amenities Programme, demonstrating how thoughtful operational decisions can deliver real, measurable environmental impact.

This initiative supports the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, including Responsible Consumption and Production (SDG 12) and Climate Action (SDG 13), and reflects our belief that sustainability must be embedded into everyday healthcare practices.

Whether through reducing waste and increasing recycling efforts at Mount Elizabeth Novena and Parkway East Hospital, integrating energy efficient design and solar panels at the revamped Mount Elizabeth Hospital, or advancing education in sustainable practices at Gleneagles Hospital, we remain committed to advancing responsible healthcare while building a healthier future for generations to come.

Together, let’s continue turning intention into action.

Three years ago, we broke ground on Project Renaissance, Mount Elizabeth Hospital (MEH) first major transformation since its opening in 1979.

Last week, we hosted local and regional media for an exclusive first look to see what that journey has become.

From the moment our guests stepped into the Grand Lobby, the experience showcases how Project Renaissance has reimagined MEH as a fully integrated, future ready healthcare campus, purpose built for complex and high acuity care.

Mr Yong Yih Ming, Chief Operating Officer, IHH Healthcare Singapore and CEO, Mount Elizabeth Hospital, personally took the media through key spaces across the hospital, including:

• Our Endoscopy Centre and Radiology Complex, designed for faster diagnosis and seamless care transitions,
• Our autonomous endoscopy delivery robot in action, showcasing how automation supports clinical efficiency,
• Newly reconfigured wards, and multi-bedded rooms, supporting complex care needs, and VIP suites
• A showcase of our LizWorld app, where digital innovation meets patient experience to provide intuitive wayfinding, seamless in-room services and faster, more responsive care,
• The Urgent Care Centre that completes the continuum of care,
• And finally, the Milestone Wall which is a reminder of how far this transformation has come.

Following the tour, Dr Peter Chow, Chief Executive Officer, IHH Healthcare Singapore, and Mr Yong spoke with media about the strategic impact of Project Renaissance, highlighting how the transformation reinforces MEH’s leadership in complex care, advances value based, person centric healthcare, and supports sustainable growth so the hospital continues to earn the trust of patients in Singapore and across the region for generations to come.

Thank you to our media partners who joined us for this preview, and to the teams who brought this vision to life.

Where Tradition Meets Togetherness ✨🌙💚

Reliving the heartwarming moments from our Hari Raya celebrations held across our IHH Singapore corporate offices and hospitals...

It was truly a joy to see colleagues come together to honour this festive season with plenty of smiles and laughter.

Beyond the delicious festive spreads and dressing up for the occasion, we took a nostalgic trip down memory lane to reminisce the kampong spirit with a few rounds of marbles and five stones — reminding us of the simple traditions that bond us together as one inclusive family.

To our Muslim colleagues, partners and friends, Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri. Here’s to a future of continued health, peace, and happiness for all.

The healthcare environment is evolving; demographic shifts towards an older population combined with an increase in complex surgeries are driving healthcare inflation. IHH Healthcare Singapore CEO Dr Peter Chow, today shared how proactive initiatives and strong payor-provider collaboration have allowed us to reduce our average inpatient length of stay by 7%, while keeping the increase in total bill size to just 2.4%.

This reflects our commitment to delivering value and positive clinical outcomes for our patients, while ensuring healthcare remains sustainable.

📢 Patient Safety Campaign 2026: Kicking Off a Year of Shared Learning

We started our 2026 Patient Safety Campaign by reflecting on key lessons from the past year and important insights from the MOH Annual SRE reports. Building on our 2025 campaign, we revisited core themes: strengthening safety culture, addressing psychological and physical abuse in the workplace, reinforcing shared responsibility, and preventing one of the most avoidable harms: falls.

Through case discussions, Gleneagles Hospital, Singapore O&G specialist Dr Quek Swee Chong highlighted how routine moments such as handovers, medication checks, and procedural verification can become critical risk points when assumptions are made, but also key opportunities to prevent harm.

We extend our heartfelt appreciation to Dr Quek for his leadership of the Patient Safety Committee over the past two years and warmly welcome Dr Asok Kurup as our new clinical lead of the Patient Safety Committee.

Thank you to everyone who participated actively in the session. Together, we continue to learn, improve, and make care safer for every patient. 💗

Big Dreams, Little Doctors 👨🏻‍⚕️👩🏻‍⚕️

About 240 children had a meaningful start to their March school holidays by scrubbing in as a Doctor For A Day (DFAD) at the newly renovated Mount Elizabeth Hospital.

Organised by Mount Elizabeth Hospital in collaboration with The Moment Collective, this year's DFAD was a special "For Good" edition, where ticket proceeds went towards Autism Resource Centre Singapore / Pathlight School.

Looking the part in their scrubs and caps, the kids navigated the clinical environment, from learning the basics of the human anatomy to taking part in hands-on activities such as caring for a patient, wound cleaning, and even carrying out a gastroscopy procedure to remove particles.

A huge thank you to all the curious explorers who joined us for a glimpse of making a difference in everyday lives. From a core memory to a career, we hope to see these mini doctors return as the real deal down the road!

📢 Announcing a new milestone - the opening of our Hybrid Operating Theatre at Gleneagles Hospital, Singapore (GEH)!

We have officially opened our second Hybrid Operating Theatre (OT) within IHH SG. Designed to support complex procedures, it combines surgical and real-time imaging capabilities in a single space.

Spanning nearly 90 square metres, the OT features a ceiling-mounted imaging system that provides surgeons with real-time visuals during procedures. This enables our teams to perform complex cardiac and vascular procedures and more. For patients, this means coordinated care takes place in one setting, which may reduce the need for multiple transfers.

After six months of preparation, our Hybrid OT is now operational, with the first procedures successfully completed in early March. This reflects our continued investment in technology that empowers our clinicians and strengthens patient-centred care.

Kudos to the GEH team for making this happen! 🧡

🥰A heartfelt thank you to Community Chest Singapore for celebrating the contributions to the SGSHARE initiative at the recent SG60 Appreciation Ceremony.

We are glad to be a part of this!

Last year, our IHH SG family and partners collectively raised over $40,000 for communities in need. In addition, our staff members have very generously supported the initiative through monthly payroll contributions.🫶

This recognition belongs entirely to our people, doctors and partners and we are incredibly grateful for their spirit of giving and proud to continue our Care. For Good mission together.

Our commitment to healthcare without borders means providing hope and advanced care to patients like 25-year-old Lee Kai Sheng, who travelled from Malaysia to Singapore when a persistent cough led to a shock diagnosis: a rare, aggressive mediastinal yolk sac tumour; and his condition had little improvement despite weeks of treatment. 🌍🩺

His family’s unwavering determination led them to Dr Su Jang Wen, our cardiothoracic surgeon at Gleneagles Hospital, Singapore. Despite the immense risks of a second open-chest surgery, Dr Su and team successfully removed the 15-centimeter tumour, giving Kai Sheng a new lease of life. ❤️‍🩹🤞

This incredible journey highlights what Dr Su advises for rare diseases: the critical need for early diagnosis, timely treatment, and diligent follow-up. Kai Sheng’s story is a testament to the power of hope and the relentless commitment of our specialists to provide patient-centered care and positive outcomes. 🫶🏻

Being 'For Good' guides everything that we do. 💗

In a recent feature, we shared how our Parkway Rehab team removes barriers to care and support more inclusive healthcare.

Healthcare must be accessible to everyone, especially those who may face challenges receiving it.

As shared by our IHH SG CEO, Dr Peter Chow, “Healthcare is more than treating illness; it’s about building healthier communities.”

This belief drives us to show up where we're needed most, such as providing on-site rehabilitation for para-athletes so that care is always within reach.

We are proud to have been recognised as a Champion of Good (IHH Healthcare Singapore and Mount Elizabeth Hospital) and Companies of Good (Mount Elizabeth Novena Hospital, Gleneagles Hospital, Parkway East Hospital and Parkway Shenton). Last weekend, we were also recognised for our contributions to the community at the Community Chest SG60 Appreciation Ceremony.

These recognitions will serve as a reminder of the meaningful impact our people create every day. Their commitment continues to drive our initiatives as we work towards building healthier communities. 🥰
