Many of our staff are also avid participants in many charity events, from the periodic blood donation drives and Yellow Ribbon Run to the Purple Parade.

Better healthcare experience for Para Athletics Singapore (PAS)

IHH Healthcare Singapore and Para Athletics Singapore signed a groundbreaking two-year Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to improve the healthcare experience of local para-athletes.

This partnership marks the first collaboration between PAS and a healthcare provider, aiming to enhance healthcare services for para-athletes across various levels.

As part of the agreement, IHH Singapore is committing to sponsor 60 physiotherapy sessions, 24 occupational therapy sessions, 12 podiatry sessions, diagnostic imaging, and annual blood tests. Additionally, PAS and IHH Singapore will jointly develop educational initiatives and programs to support the well-being of the para-athletes. Athletes can now schedule consultations with IHH Singapore within a week, significantly reducing previous wait times that could extend to months with other providers.

Autism Resource Centre

Employment for ARC clients

Our journey to become an inclusive workplace started in 2016 at Mount Elizabeth Novena, where we welcomed three individuals with special needs to our Operations and Food, Nutrition & Beverage teams. In 2019, we expanded our efforts by partnering with ARC to train and place their clients within various business units. This initiative has been remarkably successful. To date, we have employed 19 ARC clients.

IHH SG and ARC - Train and Place Programme

IHH SG and Autism Resource Centre (ARC) signed an MOU (on 2 October 2022) to train and empower individuals on the autism spectrum to gain employment in healthcare, and not just limited to IHH SG.

This partnership with ARC and the Employability and Employment Centre (E2C) will train as many suitable clients needed for roles in the healthcare industry and empower clients to live more fulfilling and self-sufficient lives.

IHH SG Academic Gifts

IHH SG has established two scholarships and two professorships with local universities since 2000. Gifting a total of S$8.5 million to further medical education and research, these contributions are in the form of endowments to provide support in perpetuity.

In 2012, the Mount Elizabeth Gleneagles Scholarship was launched in collaboration with NUS Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine (YLLSOM). This S$2 million scholarship fund has since supported 12 cohorts of scholars, awarding 176 bond-free scholarships to aspiring medical students annually. Each scholarship is bond-free and awarded annually.

Quarterly blood donation drives for Singapore Red Cross

Since 2021, IHH Singapore has been a steadfast supporter of the Red Cross blood donation drive. Conducted quarterly, these drives underscore our commitment to saving and sustaining lives, a core tenet of healthcare. Our leaders and employees actively participate, recognising the indispensable role of blood in medical treatments and emergencies.
