Chapter 1 Remembering

From our humble beginnings in Mistri Wing at the Singapore General Hospital, we have evolved into a full-fledged tertiary referral centre, pushing the frontiers of clinical care and research for better health outcomes and educating the next generation of clinicians for our future.

Our story is not complete without the mention of the Founding Professor of Paediatrics, Emeritus Professor Wong Hock Boon, and his pioneering contributions that paved the way for child health in Singapore.
