Treating a heart tumour without open-heart surgery, is that possible? 🫀

In selected cases, minimally invasive cardiac surgery (MICS) offers an alternative approach. Using small keyhole incisions and endoscopic tools, surgeons can access the heart without opening the chest.

This approach is designed to reduce the size of surgical incisions and minimise disruption to surrounding tissue, which may be suitable for some patients after careful clinical assessment.

At Mount Elizabeth Orchard Hospital, the cardiac care team, including Professor Theodoros Kofidis with support from Dr Lim Tai Tian, provides minimally invasive surgical options for selected complex heart conditions.

If you are exploring treatment approaches for a heart condition, understanding the available surgical options is an important first step.

Christmas found its way into our hospital this week with tiny tree coasters gifted to patients, adding a cheerful pop of festive spirit to their bedside tables and a perfect spot for that morning coffee. 🎄☕

Our patients also got crafty in our mini winter workshop, piecing together their own snow globes. A sprinkle of glitter, a tiny tree, and a whole lot of smiles later, everyone had a bit of Christmas magic to take home.

It’s our first festive season in the newly renovated wards since Project Renaissance began in 2023, and filling these new spaces with laughter and warmth made the celebration all the more meaningful.

Sending warmth, joy, and blessings to patients, families, visitors, and all our teams at Mount Elizabeth Hospital.

A canopy of 𝟯𝟴𝟭 𝘀𝗼𝗹𝗮𝗿 𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗲𝗹𝘀 now crowns our rooftop, powering a greener future at Mount Elizabeth Hospital Orchard.

This is our first major step into renewable energy:

☀️ Each panel contributes to generating clean energy for our public and common areas.

☀️ The system is seamlessly integrated with our new Building Management System.

On the ground, another milestone took shape: 𝟭𝟰 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝘁𝘀, including the final set at Lift Lobby B.

This was an 18-month construction challenge, involving new shafts through 10 floors while the hospital remained active. They now form the "vertical spines" that ensure efficient, segregated movement for everyone across our entire 26-lift suite.

This is the promise of 𝘗𝘳𝘰𝘫𝘦𝘤𝘵 𝘙𝘦𝘯𝘢𝘪𝘴𝘴𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦: a hospital built for tomorrow. It means sophisticated care in an environment that works harder for you, and treads lighter on the planet.
