Last weekend, imaginations ran wild this Children’s Day at Mount Elizabeth Novena Hospital. 🧵✨

In our lobby, kids huddled around tables, carefully picking their favourite patches from a colourful array to design DIY keychains that they could treasure as keepsakes. Meanwhile, our inpatient children and those at the 24-hour Urgent Care Centre were gifted with these cheerful creations, made with just as much love and care.

Happy Children’s Day to all the kids and their families. We hope these small moments sparked joy, and made your day a little brighter. 💕

Two-year-old Yanna's first word, 'mama,' was a miracle. Diagnosed at just 4 months with a rare brain tumour, she underwent surgery, chemotherapy, and proton beam therapy (PBT) — a precise form of radiation that targets cancer while sparing healthy tissue.

Unlike conventional radiation therapy, PBT is more precise and causes less damage to surrounding healthy cells, thereby limiting harmful side effects and helping protect young patients like Yanna from long-term cognitive and developmental challenges.

Today, Yanna is cancer-free and steadily working to regain her speech and mobility.

🫀 Ever feel unusually tired, lightheaded, or out of breath doing things that used to be second nature? Your heart could be working harder than it should.

Your heart valves are like well-oiled gates, opening and closing thousands of times a day to keep blood flowing. But when it starts to stiffen, aortic valve stenosis can make your heart push harder just to keep up.

If this rings true for you, it's time to listen to your body. Our heart specialists at Mount Elizabeth Novena Hospital offer minimally invasive treatments like TAVI to help regain your heart’s healthy beat and your quality of life.

🌸 Last week, our Nurses’ Day celebration at Mount Elizabeth Novena Hospital bloomed with the theme “𝘉𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘊𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘞𝘦𝘭𝘭-𝘣𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘨.”

Just as flowers need care to thrive, so does compassion. By nurturing our nurses' well-being, they can care for every patient with full hearts, their kindness and strength shining through.

One of the most touching moments was watching our team perform "𝘊𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘖𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘉𝘦𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘴 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘊𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘖𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧," a heartfelt performance about mental wellness, resilience, and looking out for one another.

To every nurse in our Novena family: thank you for the love, dedication, and quiet acts of compassion that often go unseen. You make possible what medicine alone never could. 💙 Happy Nurses’ Day!
