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.

Following the news that Singapore will extend MediShield Life and MediSave coverage to certain risk-reducing surgeries for individuals with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC) syndrome, Dr Sabrina Ngaserin, breast surgeon at Mount Elizabeth Hospitals, shared her thoughts:

"Breast specialists have been advocating for this for years; it’s a relief to see policy catching up with clinical reality.

For individuals with HBOC syndrome, the pathway from genetic testing to risk-reducing treatment has been shown to be both clinically- and cost-effective. Soon, risk-reducing mastectomy and risk-reducing bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy will be covered by MediShield Life or MediSave. It’s encouraging to see Singapore recognise the value of prevention by extending coverage to medically indicated preventive surgery.”

She adds: “This sends an important message to the population: responsible, proactive steps in health should and will be supported. Together we can support more affected individuals in their journey toward cancer prevention, and not just wait for it to occur so we can treat it. This is a meaningful shift forward for our specialty, for our patients, for our society!”

Eligible patients can receive up to 70 per cent in subsidies for genetic tests, while MediShield Life coverage will be extended to selected risk-reducing surgical procedures.

Healing doesn’t begin or end at the hospital doors. It starts in the weeks of preparation before admission and continues through the steady work of recovery after you return home.

These in-between stages are often when stress peaks, especially if you’re unsure what your insurance covers.

When you have the clarity of knowing you are supported from the first scan to the final check in, you can stop second guessing every appointment and start focusing on your recovery.

Living with two serious heart conditions, Madam Linda Sanjaya found everyday life limited by breathlessness and fatigue.

She needed a solution that was as sophisticated as her condition was complex, but one that wouldn’t keep her from being there for her family, especially her daughter’s wedding.

Under the care of cardiothoracic surgeon Professor Theodoros Kofidis, she underwent a rare double minimally invasive cardiac surgery (MICS) to treat both conditions in a single operation, without the need for conventional open‑heart surgery. This gentler approach avoids large incisions through the chest bone, reducing surgical trauma and easing her recovery.

With ongoing support from cardiologist Dr Lim Tai Tian and the heart team, her symptoms have improved, and she is steadily regaining strength for her daughter’s big day.

Consult with our cardiothoracic team today to explore advanced heart surgery options.

Welcome to the world, our Year of the Horse babies! 👶✨

Mdm Goh Tsuey Ping and Mr Kwei Ren Hua met their second baby boy at 8:04pm on the first day of Lunar New Year. Festive timing clearly runs in the family, as their eldest son was born just after Christmas.

At 6:10am the next morning, Mdm New Zi Xuan and Mr Samuel Lim welcomed their baby girl, our first baby girl of the new year. Her parents shared that our gifts arrived even before their loved ones.

Both families received surprise bundles of joy: a maternity hamper, baby essentials, mandarin oranges for good luck, and a horse plushie bag charm to mark this spirited zodiac year.

Warmest wishes to the Kwei and Lim families as they head home with their newest little loves! 🧡
