After months away, being able to return to a place closer to her loved ones brings comfort and a sense of familiarity, factors that often help patients feel more at ease and motivated in their recovery.

We are honored to have been part of her journey home. Through comprehensive coordination and careful arrangements, she was accompanied by our medical team throughout the journey, safely transferred back to Macau via a commercial airline stretcher.

Our sincere thanks to the 澳門紅十字會, for ensuring a smooth final leg of the journey, from Macau Airport to the hospital. This seamless transfer was made possible through strong coordination, as well as the enduring friendship and collaboration between the Red Cross/Red Crescent and St John Ambulance at the international level.

Congratulations to Junior Division Officer (JDO) Dephne Ooi from Millennium Combined Adult Division - MCAD being enrolled into Cohort 2, Global Leadership Development Programme by St John International global office. Well done!

Introducing... Dephne Ooi!🌟

"I work in social services and education in Penang, Malaysia, supporting children with special needs, adolescents, and their families within community and educational settings. I hold a Master of Social Work degree, where my research focused on the social inclusion of children with special needs and the mental health awareness of their parents. This academic foundation shapes my commitment to family-centred and inclusive practice.

Professionally, I work as a Learning Support Tutor, providing individualised educational support to children with slow learning and dyslexia. Alongside my professional role, I am also a mother, and from my children’s early learning years, I have incorporated sensory-based learning approaches at home. This lived experience has deepened my understanding of child development, emotional regulation, and the practical challenges families face in supporting learning and wellbeing.

Within St John, I am actively involved in community-based initiatives supporting children and adolescents. More recently, my work has focused on developing a structured community-based programme addressing early intervention for children with special needs and psychosocial support for adolescents, while strengthening families and community networks.

My project develops a community-based support space addressing both early intervention for children with special needs and psychosocial support for adolescents. It integrates developmental, emotional, and resilience-building approaches while strengthening family mental health, caregiver confidence, and community networks through inclusive, safe, and supportive environments."
