Stories of Hope and Healing

Every day, we witness incredible stories of courage in our hospitals. Our patients and their families face challenges with remarkable strength, showing us the power of hope. From first steps after surgery to precious moments of recovery, these stories remind us why community support matters and inspire others to join us in making a difference.

Making the Last Mile Count

Single and a former Zi Char chef, the late Mdm Beck was diagnosed with end-stage lung cancer. Her life changed drastically as her condition deteriorated. Despite immense physical and emotional pain, she found comfort in the compassionate care by our palliative care team.

A Bite to Remember

The late Mdm Leong was a palliative patient receiving end-of-life care at Outram Community Hospital (OCH). She had been on a liquid-only diet after her dentures broke, which resulted in significant and worrying weight loss.

Scooting with Freedom and Independence

Because of a toe ulcer that did not heal, Mdm Yati had to undergo a procedure to unblock her leg arteries. After her surgery, she was warded in Sengkang Community Hospital (SKCH) for wound care and rehabilitation.

Always By His Side

When Mr Tan was hospitalized at Bright Vision Hospital (BVH) for amputation wound care and rehabilitation, his wife became the sole breadwinner and caregiver for the family. Without any children, the couple were all each other had.

The Journey to Wellness

During his stay in hospital, Mr Koh required regular dialysis sessions for his medical condition. He was also diabetic and this affected his eyes, causing various complications.

The Inseparable Bond

Widowed early on, Madam Wong, 67, has single-handedly raised her mentally-challenged daughter for the past 30 years. As a result, mother and daughter are immensely protective of each other.

A Gift of Hope & Dignity
