Together, let’s build a brighter and healthier society,” said Serena Yong, Chief Executive Officer of Regency Specialist Hospital.
“Through social assistance, we hope to ease the financial burden of single mothers while at the same time empowering them to rebuild their lives,” said Stanley Lam, Chief Executive Officer of Mahkota Medical Centre.
