KK Women's and Children's Hospital (KKH)

Date: August 21, 2008
Time: 3 pm to 5.30 pm
Participants: 44 max

KK Women's and Children's Hospital, or simply KKH, is the largest medical facility in Singapore which provides specialised care for women, babies and children. Since 1858, we've grown into an 830-bed hospital for women and children. In fact, we are the only integrated women's and children's hospital in Singapore. In spite of the complex medical conditions and the sheer numbers of patients we treat daily, patients who come through our doors are constantly reminded that they are children or women first, and patients second. 

It is this belief in personalised patient-centred care, together with our medical expertise, that has created a tradition of medical excellence at KKH. And this fundamental principle still holds true to this day. Every year, we register over 500,000 visits by women and children who come as inpatients or outpatients to our Joint Commission International (JCI) accredited hospital. In addition, one-third of all couples in Singapore choose to deliver their babies at KKH.

In the last 30 years, the population in the east of Singapore has grown rapidly.

The hospital’s motto, "Caring For The Community In The East" encapsulates Changi General Hospital’s (CGH)'s long-term objective to serve as a healthcare hub in the east.
