Last week, we had the privilege to take part in the 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡𝐲 𝐅𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞: 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐧’𝐬 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡 & 𝐄𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭, a collaborative initiative proudly brought together by the 𝐑𝐨𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭 𝐂𝐥𝐮𝐛 𝐨𝐟 𝐘𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐨𝐧, 𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐒 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐥, and 𝐘𝐎𝐌𝐀-𝐎𝐔𝐄 𝐏𝐮𝐧 𝐇𝐥𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐇𝐨𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐬. Held at 𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐒 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐥 (𝐓𝐡𝐮𝐰𝐮𝐧𝐧𝐚 𝐂𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐮𝐬), this event reflected our shared belief in nurturing the next generation by connecting families with meaningful knowledge, practical tools, and trusted care.

The panel discussion explored children’s wellbeing from every angle: 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡, 𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐭𝐡, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐛𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐠𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐬 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐲.

Our 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐞𝐟 𝐎𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐎𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐫, 𝐃𝐫 𝐙𝐚𝐰 𝐖𝐢𝐧 𝐒𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐲, joined as one of the panellists and shared her heartfelt perspective as both a healthcare leader and a mother. When asked how she balances her demanding role and parenting, she shared:

“As a mother and a healthcare leader, I know how demanding it can be to balance both. But I’ve learned that presence is the greatest gift I can give my child. Weekends are sacred for us; my daughter and I play tennis together, laugh, and stay active side by side. Every evening, no matter how busy my day has been, I sit with her to help revise her lessons and talk about anything on her mind.
I keep my work pressures at the hospital, and I never bring them home. At home, I’m her mother first, her listener, her safe place. We always say we are each other’s best friends, and that is something I treasure deeply. To me, being a good mother means showing my daughter she is always my priority, no matter how big my responsibilities get. It’s in those simple, undivided moments that she truly grows, knowing she is loved and heard. “

It was a warm reminder that behind every title and every busy schedule, our families and children are what inspire us to do better, both at work and at home.

Thank you to everyone who joined us to make this day possible for the children, parents, and guardians who came together to invest in a healthier, happier future.
