🌍💙 KKH is incredibly proud of Assoc Prof Joyce Lam, Senior Consultant, Haematology & Oncology Service, who has just returned from an impactful mission to Egypt as part of Singapore’s international aid efforts.

She joined Singapore’s first foreign medical team to support Egyptian hospitals. Together with two other healthcare professionals, she cared for Palestinian children evacuated from Gaza with complex health conditions.

This historic effort marked the first time Egypt welcomed international doctors to treat patients, a significant milestone in global healthcare collaboration.

Assoc Prof Lam’s unwavering dedication exemplifies KKH’s commitment to advancing healthcare globally — placing patients at the heart of all we do, while fostering international partnerships.

Thank you for representing KKH and Singapore with such heart and excellence!

𝙎𝙪𝙥𝙥𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙚, 𝙘𝙤𝙡𝙡𝙖𝙗𝙤𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙚, 𝙤𝙪𝙩𝙜𝙤𝙞𝙣𝙜 — that’s how Yang Han’s peers describe him.

He’s currently on an eight-month internship with the KKH Facilities Management (FM) team, under the Healthcare Engineering Internship Programme.

𝗤: 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱?
I am a third-year undergraduate at Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT) studying Sustainable Built Environment. I chose to specialise in Facilities Management, driven by interest from my Polytechnic days where I learnt about Workplace Safety and Health, Fire Safety Management and Operations and Maintenance.

𝗤: 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗱𝗶𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻 𝗮𝘁 𝗞𝗞𝗛?
I’ve always found healthcare facilities management unique because of its stricter requirements and regulations compared to commercial facilities. That sparked my curiosity and made me want to experience first-hand how FM works in a hospital setting. That’s why I chose to join KKH as an intern.

𝗤: 𝗠𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗽𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻 𝗞𝗞𝗛?
Every small detail matters - whether it is maintaining the right temperature and humidity in critical areas or making sure that something as simple as a weighing scale works properly. Each detail plays a part in ensuring that the hospital consistently delivers quality patient care.

𝗤: 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗱𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗺𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗱𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗮𝘁 𝗞𝗞𝗛?
For me, simply being able to attend operations meetings with different stakeholders was very rewarding – from the way the meetings were conducted, to the way stakeholders shared their knowledge. Listening, absorbing and learning from the discussions gave me valuable insights that I could never have gained from textbooks.

𝗤: 𝗦𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝘁 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽?
I discovered that I enjoy a balance between being physically on-site and working at the computer. Having both keeps the work relatable – its engaging and fulfilling for me.

𝗤: 𝗔𝗻 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂?
I enjoy dragon boating because I love the adrenaline rush!

𝗤: 𝗔𝗱𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝘀𝗶𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗮𝗿 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽?
Don’t be afraid and take that first step. Embrace the challenges and your future self will be grateful for the growth.

In her 27 years here, K Kalaichelvi, Senior Associate, Health Information Management Services, has seen KKH transit from paper to digital. She is one of KKH’s documents stewards — handling tons of medical reports for both insurance claims, and legal inquiries and investigations.

𝗤: 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝗱𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗲 𝗼𝗻?
I came to know through a newspaper advertisement that KKH was looking for a transcriptionist. I enjoyed it as I got to learn many medical terms, and even mastered the art of decoding doctors’ scribbles!

I was also drawn to being part of the KKH family as I was born here. Furthermore, my job, colleagues, management have kept me here for 27 years now!

𝗤: 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗮 𝘂𝘀𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂?
My day involves handling medical report requests from various governmental or private organisations, patients and caregivers. I work closely with doctors and requestors, processing and ensuring that all documentation is properly managed. To ensure that the patient care experience is as smooth as possible, we also request for and provide notes to other hospitals — with patient consent, of course!

At times, I also see patients personally. Some older patients prefer to meet us in person as they are afraid of scams. We assist them with their administrative matters, right down to accompanying them to the payment kiosk machine to complete payment.

𝗤: 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝟮𝟳 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀?
The biggest change has been the transition from paper to digital records. When I first started, everything was manual and on paper, but now we have moved on to digital records. I adapted by embracing technology and attending training sessions. These changes have made our work more efficient and accurate.

𝗤: 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗲𝗻𝗷𝗼𝘆 𝗱𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸?
During work hours, I focus on my work and doing it diligently. After work is family time — I go out with friends and family and spend time with my grandchildren. I always look forward to bringing them to the playground or flower garden. I also enjoy reading books and listening to music.
