Paediatrics by KKH

At Sengkang General Hospital (SKH), we bring the same dedication, skills and expertise of care from KK Women's and Children's Hospital (KKH) to our patients. Patients and their families have access to a multidisciplinary team that works together, with one goal in mind: healing children as quickly and happily as possible.

The paediatric clinic at SKH provides clinical evaluation, treatment and follow up for acute illnesses, as well as primary and secondary care for chronic illnesses in children. We provide children of all ages with personalised primary care, preventive and health maintenance care, and specialty paediatric services, from baby's first check-up right up through the teen years.

We also serve as a triage and referral point for our other paediatric subspecialties in KKH, coordinating multidisciplinary care services. This is a collaborative effort between the healthcare professionals from SKH and KKH. We also work with the family physicians and general practitioners in the community to coordinate clinical care for your child, address your concerns and provide accurate information needed at each stage of your child's life.

Please note that the paediatric service at SKH is only available for patients with a referral from Polyclinics, SKH Emergency Department or the General Paediatrics Service from KKH. We are unable to accept walk-ins.

FAQs

How often should my child see the paediatrician?

Your child should not only see the paediatrician for an illness. It is also important to schedule check-ups regularly, beginning from infancy. These routine examinations provide the best opportunity for the doctor to observe the progress of your child's physical and mental growth and development; to counsel and teach parents; to detect potential concerns through screening tests; and to get to know one another. Scheduled check-ups are strongly recommended as part of preventive paediatric care. During your visit, you may raise questions and concerns about your child's development, behaviour, nutrition, safety and overall well-being.
