Geographic Atrophy (GA) is an advanced form of dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD) that can lead to irreversible vision loss. In Singapore, AMD affects about 5-8% of adults over 40, with around 1% progressing to advanced stages. As Singapore’s ageing population grows, retinal diseases like AMD are becoming an increasingly urgent healthcare focus.

In a milestone for retinal care, senior consultant and retina specialist Dr Kelvin Teo from Mount Elizabeth Hospital, recently performed an early-access procedure using anti-complement therapy for GA. This marks one of the first such procedures in Singapore.

We continue to advance clinical excellence and support our specialists in delivering innovative treatments that improve patient outcomes and quality of life.❣️Well done to the team who made this happen!

We have successfully concluded a fundraising campaign in support of Community Chest SGSHARE initiative! Woohoo! 🥳

In celebration of SG60, we rallied our doctors and staff to join this meaningful cause. Thanks to their support, we’ve raised over $40,000, more than double our initial goal!😎This reflects the collective commitment of our medical community to give back and support causes that strengthen our society.

We are also honoured to be the first private healthcare organisation in Singapore to partner Community Chest and empower our staff to contribute voluntarily through monthly payroll giving to SGSHARE. Participation is entirely optional.

We believe care extends beyond hospital walls. Every contribution, no matter how big or small, touches lives in meaningful ways —providing food, healthcare assistance, and community aid to those who need it most. What's most important is it comes from the heart! ❤️💗

🌟 Inaugural Indonesian Hospital Management Summit (IHMS) 2025 🌟

Earlier last week, our IHH SG Chief Operating Officer, Mr Yong Yih Ming had the privilege of speaking at the Indonesian Hospital Management Summit (IHMS) 2025, held at the Aston Kartika Grogol Hotel & Conference Center in Jakarta.

Addressing an audience of nearly 400 hospital leaders and administrators, he presented on “Boosting High Hospital Performance & Productivity: Implementation of Quality and Performance Excellence Execution”, followed by an engaging panel session together with Dr Ben Widaja, President Director of Mandaya Hospital Group, and Dr Harmeni Wijaya, Chief Commercial Officer of Indonesia Healthcare Corporation (IHC).

The strong reception from participants, many of them senior executives from Indonesia’s private healthcare sector, is a testament to the shared commitment across our region to raise standards, enhance patient outcomes, and build resilient, high-performing healthcare systems.

Mr Yong and the delegation also had the opportunity to meet senior Indonesian health ministry officials and leaders in the Indonesian private healthcare scene.

A big thank you to the IHMS organisers for bringing together such an engaging and forward-thinking community. We are proud to contribute to the dialogue on elevating operational excellence, and we look forward to continued collaboration with our partners across Indonesia and beyond.

Here’s to driving better care, better performance, and better health for all. 💙🏥

Fewer than 500 people worldwide live with GNAO1 mutation, a rare genetic disorder that disrupts brain signalling and affects movement and development. For 11-year-old Adrian, this meant years of involuntary movements and developmental delays. Symptoms that were initially mistaken for cerebral palsy.

His turning point came when specialists at IHH Healthcare Singapore worked together to perform a deep brain stimulation surgery for a paediatric GNAO1 patient. Under the care of Dr Nicolas Kon, Neurosurgeon at Mount Elizabeth Hospital, and Dr Tong Hong Yeo, Paediatric Neurologist at Parkway East Hospital, Adrian underwent a life-changing procedure that gave him a chance to reclaim his childhood.

Today, Adrian is back in school, walking with support, and inspiring hope for families facing rare conditions.

He is the first paediatric patient with GNAO1 in Asia to undergo the procedure. Read more at straitstimes.com. Read more at straitstimes.com.

𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗦𝗮𝗳𝗲𝘁𝘆 𝗖𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗶𝗴𝗻 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱 - 𝗔 𝘀𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀!

We've closed out the 2025 Patient Safety Campaign (Q4) with a focus on Falls and Fall Prevention, one of the frequently reported safety incidents across our hospitals. This quarter’s campaign gave us a clear view of fall trends from 2022 to 2025 and reminded everyone why fall vigilance isn’t just a task, it’s a daily mindset.

The online session highlighted the various efforts across IHH SG, from fall risk assessments, staff training and competency to patient and family education materials such as videos, posters and brochures. We also showcased fall-prevention technologies and equipment currently in use, including Smart Peep monitoring and bed border systems, all supporting nurses in creating a safer care environment.

Case studies brought these best practices to life, illustrating how keen observation, clear communication, and using the right tools at the right time can prevent serious harm. It’s proof that small, consistent actions add up to significant patient safety outcomes.

A big thank-you to all our colleagues who continue to prioritise patient safety every day. Your commitment, vigilance and teamwork drive a safer care environment for all. Let’s continue to strengthen our safety culture and deliver safer care for every patient, every time.

We are proud to share that IHH Healthcare Singapore (IHHSG) is now the first private healthcare group in Singapore where all our hospitals are contributing to the National Electronic Health Record (NEHR).

Our journey began with Gleneagles Hospital, the first in our group to come on board in August 2025. Within the first three days alone, Gleneagles successfully uploaded data from 65 newly admitted patients — a strong start that sets the pace for the rest of our hospitals.

Following this, Mount Elizabeth, Mount Elizabeth Novena and Parkway East Hospital have also completed their integration, making IHHSG the first private healthcare group with full participation in NEHR.

This milestone reflects IHHSG’s deep commitment to delivering continuity of care that puts patients at the heart of everything we do. It ensures a seamless experience across the care journey and reinforces our role as a healthcare leader in Singapore.

By contributing into NEHR, we are now able to:
✅ Enable faster, better-informed decisions by our doctors and staff through comprehensive health data at their fingertips
✅ Reduce duplicated medical tests and the risk of incorrect prescriptions — ensuring information is updated, accurate and accessible to healthcare providers for the benefit of all patients

Thank you to every doctor, nurse, allied health professional, administrative and support staff who pushed ahead despite technical, system-integration and workflow hurdles. 🙏

Together, we are stepping into a new era of connected care!

On 13 October, we brought together IHH SG colleagues at Gleneagles Hospital for our CyberSafe+Data Protection (DP) seminar, sparking meaningful conversations around cybersecurity, data protection, and our shared responsibility to safeguard patient trust. Together, we reinforced a powerful message: Strong Cybersecurity + Strong Data Protection = One IHH Healthcare Singapore’s responsibility.

The seminar was part of the two-month campaign, jointly organised by our Information Security team and Data Protection Office (DPO).

Themed CyberS@fe+DP, here’s what we achieved together:
- A four week educational email series & weekly quiz challenge that made learning about cybersecurity and data protection fun and interactive
- A joint Cybersecurity + Data Protection Awareness Seminar, featuring expert insights on AI-driven threats and best practices in data handling
- Data Protectors Appreciation 2025, where we celebrated our dedicated Data Protectors and honoured five outstanding individuals as Data Protectors of the Year
- Interactive roadshows at selected facilities throughout the month of October, bringing awareness directly to our teams on the ground

We’re proud of the momentum we’ve built and we’re committed to continuing this journey toward a more resilient and secure IHH Healthcare Singapore. 💪🔐
