Nurse Clinician (APN), Neurology, EGH
Nurse Clinician (APN), Nursing, NNI

​Ms Siti Rohaida Binte Rahmat started her nursing career in 2009 and is currently an Advanced Practice Nurse (APN) at the National Neuroscience Institute (NNI).

Faridah Hanim_EGH Webpages 2024.png
Faridah Hanim Binte Shamsuddin
Respiratory Therapy Lead, EGH
Senior Respiratory Therapist, SGH

​Faridah Hanim Binte Shamsuddin began her SingHealth career as a Staff Nurse in 2009 before pursuing Respiratory Therapy in 2013. Today, she serves as a Senior Respiratory Therapist in Singapore General Hospital while being part of the core team that builds up EGH’s capabilities in respiratory therapy. 

Respiratory Therapists like Faridah provide care for patients with lung complications and breathing-related problems. Faridah works closely with the medical and nursing teams to create treatment plans to restore patients’ natural breathing function. In her daily work, she manages the use of ventilators, administers drugs to the lungs, and monitors patients’ response to treatment. When it comes to caring for her patients, Faridah believes that the little things matter a lot. 

“Small details in daily care like talking to the patient, ensuring that they are comfortable by caring for their appearance and body position, and being gentle in our check-ins with their families are very important. We must also care for the well-being of our patients’ families, which may be easy to overlook. Simple things like asking if they are resting or eating properly can encourage them greatly.”

​As the Deputy Chairman at the National Cancer Centre Singapore’s Division of Medical Oncology and a medical oncologist by training, Dr Tham Chee Kian specialises in neuro-oncology and gastrointestinal oncology. Beyond the clinical aspect of his job, he sees his role as providing hope, comfort and relief for his patients as he helps them navigate their condition.  
 
Dr Tham is also a Medical Discipline Lead in the EGH Hospital Planning Committee, where he works with a dedicated team of healthcare professionals to design a safe, seamless and comfortable care journey for patients at the future hospital. 
 
“I value engagement and teamwork. I believe that the personal touch, such as lending a listening ear when needed, can diffuse perceived challenging and tricky situations.”

Wendy Ang Swee Tee
Pharmacy Lead, EGH
Specialist Pharmacist, CGH




​Wendy Ang has dedicated 25 years to supporting patients in their recovery journeys at Changi General Hospital (CGH). Currently, she works closely with the CGH geriatrics team to review and optimise medication orders for elderly patients, ensuring that the doses are tailored to their needs. 

While Wendy has had her share of trying experiences with patients and their families, she chooses to meet their difficult emotions with empathy and encouragement. In doing so, her patients are empowered to better manage their health. 

She brings the same spirit of empathy and care into her work at EGH, where she plans the workflow and processes for the future hospital’s pharmacy department.

“As healthcare professionals, we have a responsibility to help our patients and their caregivers navigate the complexities of healthcare. This advocacy for patients and caregivers is our paramount duty, where we should never be afraid to speak up, ask questions and be heard for our patients’ best interest.”

Darren Tan
Hospital and Operations Planning, EGH

​An often unseen but fundamental aspect of developing a new hospital is planning its operation systems and how services will be delivered. Darren Tan oversees these vital aspects of hospital and operations planning for the upcoming EGH. 

With a wealth of experience in healthcare operations, Darren has overseen operations planning for several healthcare institutions over the years, including Changi General Hospital, Sengkang General Hospital and Woodlands Health. At EGH, he and his team conceptualises systems and processes to maximise patient safety and experience, which includes designing clear operational structures for staff to deliver healthcare services safely and efficiently. 

“Developing a new hospital involves a multitude of conversations and collaboration across teams, which may inadvertently lead to information gaps or miscommunication. I believe that each of us has the duty and ability to step up to fill these gaps and add value to each interaction and situation, contributing to a sum that is larger than its parts.”


Syazana_EGH Webpages 2024.pngNur Syazana Binte Kamsari
Service Planning (Nursing Administration), EGH



​As part of EGH’s Services Planning Nursing Administration team, Nur Syazana Kamsari supports the coordination and development of nursing care models for the new hospital. This includes manpower planning, project management and implementing nursing initiatives that upgrade the competencies of EGH’s nursing staff. 

Prior to joining the team, Syazana worked on patient management operations during the COVID-19 pandemic. Having to manage high case-loads and pandemic surges, she is no stranger to handling challenges and demands in healthcare. Ultimately, she believes that unity and camaraderie among teammates are the key to the success of any team. 

“Sincerity, compassion and proactiveness create a conducive environment for us to serve the needs of our patients and the community. This also helps fellow colleagues feel safe and inspired to give of their best to anything that we are working on.”
