About

Dr Yang Liying is a Senior Consultant in the Department of Obstetrics & Gynaecology at Singapore General Hospital. She graduated from the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine of the National University of Singapore with a Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) degree in 2008, completed her Master of Medicine in Obstetrics & Gynaecology in 2013, and became a Member of the Royal College of Obstetrics & Gynaecology (MRCOG) in the same year. She subsequently undertook further training in prenatal and reproductive genetics both locally and abroad in Mount Sinai Hospital, Toronto, and received her Master of Science in Medical Genetics in 2021. Dr Yang is also an International Board-Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC).

Dr Yang's subspecialty interests are in Maternal-Fetal Medicine as well as Prenatal and Reproductive Genetics, as she believes that pregnancy and the pre-conception period offer the unique opportunity to provide quality care that can influence the long-term health of the family, mother and child. She runs general O&G clinics and also helms the Obstetrics-Kidney (OKC), Rheumatology-Obstetrics (ROC) and Prenatal and Reproductive Genetics clinics at the Centre for High Risk Pregnancy (CHIRP) at SGH.
