The ketupat, a traditional woven rice parcel, has long symbolised togetherness, gratitude and forgiveness at Hari Raya tables. 🌙

To share this tradition, we invited our patients to weave these same values into their own bookmarks at their bedsides.

It was a gentle celebration, made even sweeter with festive cookies from Flour Power and a comforting cup of Gryphon tea, bringing warmth and a sense of peace to the recovery journey. 💛

Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri from all of us at Mount Elizabeth Hospital!

Wishing our Muslim brothers and sisters a blessed Eid filled with peace, joy, and good health for you and your loved ones. 💚

In this video, Dr Vincent Ng, neurosurgeon at Mount Elizabeth Hospital, explains the two main treatment options:

- 𝗘𝗻𝗱𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘀𝗰𝘂𝗹𝗮𝗿 𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗼𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 – a minimally invasive procedure where coils, particles, or liquid adhesives are guided through a catheter to block blood flow into the aneurysm.
- 𝗠𝗶𝗰𝗿𝗼𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗴𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 – an open surgery to secure the aneurysm.

Today, Mr Khairul Anwar is living a full life after a successful living donor kidney transplant 18 years ago — a result that once seemed unlikely given the severity of his condition.

In 2008, the outlook was far more uncertain.

At just 46 years old, Khairul was wheelchair-bound and living with a heart functioning at only 15% capacity. As his condition deteriorated rapidly, his wife Radiyah stepped forward, determined to donate a kidney. The challenge: their blood types were incompatible, making a conventional transplant impossible.

Faced with limited options, renal physician 𝗗𝗿 𝗟𝘆𝗲 𝗪𝗮𝗶 𝗖𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗻𝗴 and surgeons 𝗗𝗿 𝗧𝗮𝗻 𝗘𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗻 and 𝗗𝗿 𝗔𝗯𝘂 𝗥𝗮𝘂𝗳𝗳 at Mount Elizabeth Hospitals explored a more advanced path. The team performed a complex 𝗔𝗕𝗢-𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗱𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗿 𝗸𝗶𝗱𝗻𝗲𝘆 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻𝘁, using specialised protocols to prepare Khairul’s immune system to safely receive a kidney from a different blood group.

Khairul is a living testimony of how living donor transplantation — even across incompatible blood types — can create life-saving possibilities, offering patients with kidney failure a viable path to timely treatment when compatible donors are not readily available.

Last Sunday, 240 children as young as five joined our 𝗗𝗼𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗙𝗼𝗿 𝗔 𝗗𝗮𝘆, 𝙁𝙤𝙧 𝙂𝙤𝙤𝙙 edition at Mount Elizabeth Hospital for a fun, hands-on glimpse into the world of medicine. 🩺💙

Held within our newly refreshed spaces, the experience made learning even more immersive and welcoming for our young participants.

At the event, they explored real medical tools, learned how doctors care for patients in a hospital setting, and even tried guiding an endoscope to clear “garbage” from a model stomach and intestines.

One especially heartwarming story, shared by 𝘓𝘪𝘢𝘯𝘩𝘦 𝘡𝘢𝘰𝘣𝘢𝘰, came from a father whose son attended this same event twice as a child. That son is now 20 and has just been admitted to the NUS Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine. This year, the father brought his young daughter so she too could have that same chance to broaden her horizons.

A special thanks to The Moment Collective for bringing joy to learning and inspiring the next generation in healthcare, all for a meaningful cause in support of the Autism Resource Centre Singapore / Pathlight School.

We are immensely grateful to every family who joined us, and to all our young doctors who brought so much energy, enthusiasm, and curiosity to the hospital.

If breast cancer is caught at Stage 0, survival rate in Singapore is 99% - 100%.

And yet, too many people are still held back by familiar myths: 𝘐’𝘮 𝘵𝘰𝘰 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘨. 𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦’𝘴 𝘯𝘰 𝘱𝘢𝘪𝘯, 𝘴𝘰 𝘪𝘵 𝘤𝘢𝘯’𝘵 𝘣𝘦 𝘴𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘰𝘶𝘴. 𝘈 𝘣𝘪𝘰𝘱𝘴𝘺 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘤𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥. These misconceptions do more than just misinform; they delay the very screenings that save lives.

In this radio conversation, 𝗗𝗿 𝗦𝗮𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗮 𝗡𝗴𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻, 𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗼𝗻 (𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘁) 𝗮𝘁 𝗠𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁 𝗘𝗹𝗶𝘇𝗮𝗯𝗲𝘁𝗵 𝗛𝗼𝘀𝗽𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹𝘀, offers a perspective shaped by both clinical expertise and personal experience as a breast cancer survivor.

She reflects on how modern breast cancer care has moved decisively beyond a one-size-fits-all approach. Treatment today is carefully tailored, taking into account not only the disease itself, but also each patient’s genetics, career, family planning considerations, and emotional well-being — all supported by a multi-disciplinary team working in concert.

Cancer can feel like a matter of “luck,” but there’s more within our control than many of us realise.

Dr Tanujaa D/O Rajasekaran, medical oncologist at Parkway Cancer Centre, recently shared how genetic testing can clarify inherited cancer risk — and how newer tools like Multi‑Cancer Early Detection (MCED) blood tests may help pick up signals of existing cancers by detecting tumour DNA fragments.

Together, they show why understanding your personal profile and choosing the right screening at the right time can lead to earlier, more informed action.

At our upcoming public forum, 𝗟𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗟𝗶𝗳𝗲: 𝗖𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗿 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀, Dr Tanujaa will share more as part of the panel, “What increases cancer risk – and what you can do about it”, as well as the focus track, “Uncover Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC): From symptoms to real-life journeys.”

Life is built on the plans we make for the future. But when cancer enters the picture, the worry often shifts from health alone to how your family will manage the financial weight of care.

💬 What does cancer care actually cost?
💬 Will insurance cover more than hospital stays?
💬 Are medications and ongoing treatments included?

Join us at 𝗟𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗟𝗶𝗳𝗲: 𝗖𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗿 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀, where these questions are addressed openly. This public forum brings together doctors, financial advisors, and cancer survivors to discuss insurance gaps, financial planning during treatment, and practical ways families can prepare.

You will also hear from our multidisciplinary specialists on advances in prevention, screening, and treatment, and how coordinated care supports better outcomes. Survivors and counsellors will also share insights on rebuilding mental well-being and finding hope after treatment.

𝗟𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗟𝗶𝗳𝗲 is a space to learn, ask questions, and gain clarity on both the medical and financial realities of cancer care.
