Meet Jasmine, KKH’s Trauma Coordinator, who oversees the hospital’s trauma database and “injury coding” — the vital process of turning details of an injury into a standardised set of codes that helps the medical team track trends and improve patient care.

𝗤: 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝘁𝗼 𝗮 𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗱.
My work is about all things related to childhood injury. I start each day by visiting the wards to look for trauma cases (serious injury). I record this information into the KKH trauma database so that we can learn how to better prevent injuries and keep our children safe in the future.

I also manage KKH’s Newborn Car Seat Programme, where we help parents keep their newborns safe from their very first car ride home. To keep on top of the game, I also catch up with colleagues who take care of injury in adulthood from other hospitals to exchange ideas and learn from them!

𝗤: 𝗕𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸, 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗼𝗳?
I manage injury data, oversee logistical and administrative support for the KKH Injury Prevention Workgroup, and keep our projects on track. I have been with the workgroup for about four years. I had fun running the car seat clinic with my very witty colleagues from the nursing and rehabilitation teams! I also support the Paediatric Trauma Committee (PTC), which focuses on the clinical aspects such as collating feedback from the team involved in treating seriously injured patients and running mock scenarios with staff from multiple specialties involved.

𝗤: 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗼𝗺 𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗽𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗹𝘆 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸?
Video editing came in handy when I was working on educational videos for the hospital’s Children’s Emergency, where I also got to be the cameraman. During the COVID-19 pandemic, my Canva skills were put to good use designing posters for trauma conferences held virtually.

𝗤: 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝗱𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗮 𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗰𝗼𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿?
I used to specialise in operating theatre nursing. In 2010, when I was looking for a job as an operating theatre assistant, I was offered the Trauma Coordinator role in KKH. I underwent training for injury coding right away and have not looked back since.

𝗤: 𝗜𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗿𝘂𝗶𝘁 𝗮 𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗯𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗳𝗶𝗴𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺, 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗽𝗶𝗰𝗸 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗵𝘆?
A comedian would be great! They would be able to bring laughter and lighten the mood in some of our serious team meetings.

𝗤: 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗶𝗱 𝗼𝘂𝘁𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗺𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁?
I had been dancing hip hop, house and waacking styles, right up to four days before my first child was born in 2023!

We are pleased to announce that Clinical Associate Professor Chan Yoke Hwee will become the Chief Executive Officer of KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital, effective 1 May 2026.

She steps into a role shaped by nine remarkable years of leadership from Professor Alex Sia, who moves on to be Senior Advisor at SingHealth. Under Prof Sia’s compassionate and visionary stewardship, KKH grew into a place of firsts – Singapore’s first community hub for child development and maternal health, the first ChildKind-certified hospital outside the US, and a three-time honouree on The Straits Times’ Singapore’s Best Employers list. These are not just accolades. They are lives touched, families supported and communities transformed.

Prof Sia, thank you. For your dedication, your heart, and everything you have built for the women and children in our care.

Assoc Prof Chan brings to this role the same spirit of innovation and purpose that defines KKH. From growing our KKH Maternal and Child Health Research Institute, to launching KKH@Home – bringing hospital-level care into the community – to establishing Singapore’s first Genomic Assessment Centre, she has consistently put families at the heart of everything.

We look forward to this next chapter, as we continue our mission of promoting health and optimising potential across the life course – for every woman, every child, every family.

Landmark global study: KKH leading the way in Pre-pregnancy health

Did you know that Singaporean couples rank mental and physical health as their top priorities when planning for a baby?

Published in The Lancet, this first-ever global study involves KKH-MCHRI* and international experts across 13 countries, collaborating to identify global indicators for monitoring health before pregnancy.

As Dr Ku Chee Wai, Theme Lead for Preconception Health at KKH-MCHRI explains, focusing on health before pregnancy is a game changer. This complements KKH’s ongoing work in population health, reinforcing the life-course approach. By intervening early, we aren’t just supporting healthy pregnancies, we are creating a better environment for couples to embrace parenthood.

For families living with a rare disease, the diagnostic journey can be long and filled with uncertainty.

At KKH Rare Disease Day 2026, we celebrated something extraordinary – the life changing impact of the 𝘎𝘦𝘯𝘰𝘮𝘪𝘤𝘴 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘒𝘪𝘥𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘈𝘚𝘌𝘈𝘕 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘮𝘮𝘦. 🌏✨

Funded by Temasek Foundation, this regional programme has been redefining paediatric rare disease care:
🔹 510 families across Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Vietnam gained access to genomic sequencing.
🔹 52% received a definitive diagnosis — surpassing international benchmarks.
🔹 From 7 years to just weeks – dramatically shortening the diagnostic journey.

And this is just the beginning.

The programme is establishing ASEAN’s first dedicated genetic registry – a powerful shared resource that will strengthen diagnostics and personalised treatments for the region’s multi-ethnic populations.

To our ASEAN collaborators, and most of all, our patients and their families – thank you for allowing us to turn uncertainty into answers, and answers into hope. 🤝
