Following the news that Singapore will extend MediShield Life and MediSave coverage to certain risk-reducing surgeries for individuals with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC) syndrome, Dr Sabrina Ngaserin, breast surgeon at Mount Elizabeth Hospitals, shared her thoughts:

"Breast specialists have been advocating for this for years; it’s a relief to see policy catching up with clinical reality.

For individuals with HBOC syndrome, the pathway from genetic testing to risk-reducing treatment has been shown to be both clinically- and cost-effective. Soon, risk-reducing mastectomy and risk-reducing bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy will be covered by MediShield Life or MediSave. It’s encouraging to see Singapore recognise the value of prevention by extending coverage to medically indicated preventive surgery.”

She adds: “This sends an important message to the population: responsible, proactive steps in health should and will be supported. Together we can support more affected individuals in their journey toward cancer prevention, and not just wait for it to occur so we can treat it. This is a meaningful shift forward for our specialty, for our patients, for our society!”

Eligible patients can receive up to 70 per cent in subsidies for genetic tests, while MediShield Life coverage will be extended to selected risk-reducing surgical procedures.

Healing doesn’t begin or end at the hospital doors. It starts in the weeks of preparation before admission and continues through the steady work of recovery after you return home.

These in-between stages are often when stress peaks, especially if you’re unsure what your insurance covers.

When you have the clarity of knowing you are supported from the first scan to the final check in, you can stop second guessing every appointment and start focusing on your recovery.

Swipe ➡️ to see how each stage of your care is typically covered.

Two seasons, one celebration. 🌙🧧

On Ren Ri (人日), the 7th day of the Lunar New Year and known as the birthday of humankind, our newly revamped Grand Lobby at Mount Elizabeth Hospital was filled with sunshine, drums and joy.

The lions surprised us this year, grooving to 𝘙𝘢𝘮𝘢𝘥𝘩𝘢𝘯 𝘛𝘪𝘣𝘢 before breaking into the traditional dance, marking the start of Ramadan alongside the Lunar New Year festivities.

The dragon followed, weaving through the crowd with our senior management and prominent doctors leading the charge, just as they have in years past.

We rounded off the afternoon with 30 spirited rounds of yu sheng, as staff, specialists and partners tossed high wishes for health and togetherness with our community.

Our first New Year celebration in the refreshed Grand Lobby after Project Renaissance felt extra special, bathed in natural light from the new skylight atrium and shared across cultures, faiths and friendships.

Here’s to caring for one another, in every season. ❤️

Living with two serious heart conditions, Madam Linda Sanjaya found everyday life limited by breathlessness and fatigue.

She needed a solution that was as sophisticated as her condition was complex, but one that wouldn’t keep her from being there for her family, especially her daughter’s wedding.

Under the care of cardiothoracic surgeon Professor Theodoros Kofidis, she underwent a rare double minimally invasive cardiac surgery (MICS) to treat both conditions in a single operation, without the need for conventional open‑heart surgery. This gentler approach avoids large incisions through the chest bone, reducing surgical trauma and easing her recovery.

With ongoing support from cardiologist Dr Lim Tai Tian and the heart team, her symptoms have improved, and she is steadily regaining strength for her daughter’s big day.

Consult with our cardiothoracic team today to explore advanced heart surgery options.
