chairman's message

“Motherhood and childhood are entitled to special care and assistance.” (United

Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights)

Women and children are among the most important and vulnerable groups in society. In FY2010/11, we are glad

to share that with the support of generous donors, KKHHEF disbursed a total of $2.28 million and helped 481 local

and regional needy women and children with their medical needs. Six were underprivileged children from the

region with complex medical conditions ranging from Tessier cleft to severe congenital scoliosis, which their home

countries are unable to easily treat. These cases save lives, educate and hone surgical skills.

Fundraising is challenging, as always, but we are very encouraged by the unwavering generosity of all our donors

- individuals, corporations, organisations, schools and volunteers. Their support has enabled us to help needy

patients who approached us for financial assistance. Many of these women and children suffer from long-term or

critical illnesses, such as cancer, HIV, gynaecological and other chronic conditions.

Our grateful thanks goes to our supportive Board of Trustees, who have dedicated their time and considerable

expertise and connections towards KKHHEF’s cause.

I have also had to fill the very big shoes vacated by Prof Tan Ser Kiat. As the very first chairperson of the fund, his

wise leadership was indispensible and his contribution, invaluable. We will strive to continue his good work. Thank

you Prof Tan for your selfless commitment all these years.

how much did KKHHEF help?

Because every woman and children deserves good

health…

The KKH Health Endowment Fund (KKHHEF) raises

funds to help needy women and children with their

medical expenses and consumables needs. They

have very often exhausted all possible financial

options. The fund also supports education, research

and diseases prevention programmes targeted at

women’s and children’s health.

local patientsIn FY2010/11, 475 local women and paediatric

patients were helped for the medical treatment

of cancer, HIV, gynaecological and other chronic

conditions.

Chloe is one of the patients who benefitted from

KKHHEF. She was diagnosed with a rare genetic

disorder – Pompe Disease – when she was ten

months old. This disease will weaken her muscles,

including that of her heart. It is caused by the

deficiency of a particular enzyme. She has to

undergo Enzyme Replacement Treatment (ERT),

which will help to sustain her life. The cost for ERT

is, on average, $200,000 to $300,000 per year. This

cost will increase with weight as she will need higher

dosages of the enzyme as her body grows. The high

and long term cost involved for treatment is taxing

for any family. Pompe Disease is currently incurable

and Chloe will die if treatment stops.

foreign patientsUnderprivileged children from regional countries

can receive help at KKH through the KK Regional

Outreach to Kids (KKROK) fund. The KKROK fund is

a sub-fund of the KKHHEF and helps needy children

from the region with complex conditions who

cannot easily get treated in their own countries as

the available surgical expertise cannot meet the

children’s needs.

In FY2010/11, with funding from KKROK, six

underprivileged children underwent surgery in KKH.

The six beneficiaries were from China, Indonesia,

Malaysia, Myanmar and Thailand.

Win Moe Kyaw, a six-year old boy from Myanmar,

is one of the underprivileged children from the

region who benefitted from the KKROK programme.

Moe Kyaw was born with Tessier Cleft – a severe

malformation of the face (two long deep clefts) that

also caused him to be blind. Moe Kyaw’s father is a

farmer who earns less than US$1 a day. Through the

support of KKROK, Moe Kyaw was able to come to

Singapore in January 2011 to receive reconstructive

surgery to rebuild his mouth and lips. The surgery

was a success and Moe Kyaw is now able to eat and

articulate his speech properly, and have a chance

at a relatively normal life. Moe Kyaw returned to

Myanmar in February 2011.

Life-changing surgical intervention

research grantsResearch is pivotal for the provision of excellent

patient care for the future. KKHHEF supports and

funds research programmes that are targeted

at women’s and children’s health, which in turn,

translates into value-added services and better

clinical outcomes to benefit patients.

Ongoing research projects include “Optimising

Intellectual Potential of Growing Infants” – A

programme that uncovers opportunities for

early intervention leveraging on advanced

neurophysiological and bioimaging techniques.

Play Therapy ProgrammePaediatric patients may feel fearful when

hospitalised. To help allay their fears and to cope

with the hospitalisation experience, KKH has

qualified play therapists and volunteers who share

coping tips and techniques through a Play Therapy

programme. The programme makes use of story-

telling, games and art and craft to ease their fears.

The Kidz Horizon Appeal has enabled KKH to provide

this meaningful programme to patients at no cost,

through their annual fundraising for KKHHEF.
