A week of honouring our nurses! ✨ Our CEO, Prof Lim Soon Thye kicked off our Nurses’ Day celebrations with a special walkabout, presenting tokens of appreciation to our nurses across different units. From the Ambulatory Treatment Unit to Division of Radiation Oncology, it was wonderful connecting with our nurses and hearing their stories.


This morning, SingHealth leaders Prof Fong Kok Yong, DGCEO (Medical and Clinical Services) and Adj Prof Tracy Carol Ayre, Group Chief Nurse joined us to celebrate our nursing community. Two special visits, one important message: thank you to all our nurses for your unwavering dedication to excellent patient care! Your commitment makes all the difference!
