Mental Health Initiatives
Established by KKH in 2024 to complement the Singapore Government’s plan to prioritise the diagnosis and treatment of mental health conditions.
In response to the growing need for better mental health and wellness of our women and children,
the KHA expanded its scope in 2024 to support Mental Health initiatives.

Because every woman and child deserves good health
The KKH Health Fund (KKHHF) supports needy women and children afflicted with cancer and other chronic conditions. Yearly, KKHHF disbursed close to $2 million and helped more than 450 less fortunate women and children with their medical bills. Low-income women with serious illnesses such as cancer, high-risk pregnancies and gynaecological conditions are not usually financially equipped to bear the costs of medical treatment. Your donation provides essential support to needy paediatric patients, as well as low-income women with serious illnesses. Every year KKHHF sees an increase in the number of patients seeking assistance. These patients are treated with the best possible medical expertise and care at KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital. Thanks to the generous donors throughout the years, these patients have been able to turn to KKHHF for help. Thank you for being part of this life-saving cause!
