Healthcare Humanity Award

Healthcare Humanity Award is a continuing legacy of the Courage Awards that was first given out to selfless healthcare workers during the outbreak of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) in 2003.

Today, the award continues to raise public recognition of such role models, and respect for the healthcare profession. The award has also expanded to honour caregivers and volunteers who work tirelessly to provide care in our community.

Our heartiest congratulations to:

  • Sister Lim Chiew Peng Serene, Advanced Practice Nurse / Nurse Clinician, Case Management.
  • Mr Rosli Bin Hadi, Volunteer
  • Ms Ye Lai Fong, Caregiver
