Biography
Dr Yang JH graduated from NUS with an MBBS in 2005, and continued to pursue her passion in Paediatrics with various rotations in KKH and SGH. She completed her specialty training in Paediatrics in June 2014. She won the “Best Houseman Award” for her posting in General Surgery, CGH in 2006 and the “Singhealth Service from the Heart Silver Award” for her work in KKH in 2012 and 2016. She is currently working as a consultant in the Department of General and Ambulatory Paediatrics. She is also contributing to the Kids Integrated Development Service (KIDS 0-3). This is a programme aimed at equipping mothers and children from vulnerable families to have the knowledge and skills for a good start in early childhood. This is in partnership with the Early Childhood Development Agency, Ministry of Social and Family Development, under the kidSTART programme. The journey with KIDS 0-3 has ignited an interest in early childhood development and community paediatrics. The exposure has given her an insight into how we can fashion our paediatric landscape, with good partnership with our primary care providers, as well as the early childhood professionals. She looks forward to greater collaboration, with a view to develop community paediatrics in Singapore.
