The Singapore Heart Foundation's Board Member Prof Marcus Ong and Community First Responders Club member Mr Patrick Cheong were on the airwaves of Mediacorp Pte Ltd Channel 8《狮城有约》yesterday evening to participate in a TV interview on the《狮城热话》segment. The live discussion revolved around the importance of CPR and AED training across all age groups and how the knowledge of these lifesaving skills can make a difference during a medical emergency.   The programme also featured a pre-recorded interview of our Cardiac Arrest Survivors' Club member Mr Andrew Boh, and his wife Ms Jenni Lee, who saved him when he suffered a cardiac arrest, on the instructions of the SCDF over the phone.   Catch this insightful discussion here if you missed it: https://lnkd.in/g7Esy4HV #SHF #SingaporeHeartFoundation #ResilientHearts #CPR #AED

We celebrated our 55th anniversary at the National Gallery Singapore yesterday, marking a new epoch in our mission to promote heart health in Singapore. The event was graced by the Minister for Health, Mr Ong Ye Kung, who toured a series of meaningful exhibits and officiated at the launch ceremony for the celebration event. Mr Ong also delivered an inspiring speech and thanked SHF for our contributions to Singapore in the past 55 years.   During his visit, Mr Ong visited various art stations and interacted with the participants, before heading to our flagship Resilient HeARTs exhibition. The magnificent exhibition features art pieces and soundscapes contributed by numerous SHF stakeholders, including cardiac arrest survivors and Heart Wellness Centre clients, some of whom interacted with him at the display. Mr Ong also learnt about SHF's achievements over the years at a specially designed Milestone Wall, experienced the newly launched CardioChase Game Kiosk designed to promote heart-healthy lifestyle habits to primary and secondary school students, and tried his hand at the CPR Self-Learning Kiosk which guides users with step-by-step instructions to learn CPR.   At the event finale, the “Building Tomorrow with Heart and Resilience” Mandarin dialogue session, co-organised by SHF and Fortune Times Pte Ltd, welcomed an enthusiastic audience of around 60 participants who came to listen to the inspiring views of SHF Chairman, Prof Tan Huay Cheem; Chairman, Singapore-China Trade Technology & Culture Exchange Association Dr Wu Wei; and Co-Founder, Griffin Group and Vice Chairman, Hong Kong Singapore Business Association Ms Mei Reading. The event rounded off with a joyous staff celebration where numerous cupcakes with candles were specially arranged on a table to form the number "55", symbolically marking SHF's 55th birthday.   Look out for our upcoming SHF Charity TV Show, which is part of our 55th anniversary celebration, to be aired on Mediacorp Channel 8 on 29 Jun 2025!   #SHF #SingaporeHeartFoundation #ResilientHearts #SHF55Anniversary

The roar of the drums and clash of the cymbals filled the Singapore Heart Foundation's new office in the SLF Building on 4 Feb 2025 as our patron, President Tharman Shanmugaratnam arrived for our office inauguration ceremony. After cutting the ribbon and unveiling our office plaque, our Chairman and CEO tossed two pineapples into our office to symbolise the ushering in of good luck for the office. After the ceremony, President Tharman went on a tour of our office where our colleagues introduced him to some of SHF's key programmes and initiatives, including the BP Initiative @ Schools, BP Initiative @ Community, Salt Taste Threshold Test, the BP Awareness Kiosk and the CPR Self-Learning Kiosk.  Mr President then joined our Board members for a Lou Hei session where he was served a heart-healthy Yu Sheng uniquely crafted by our Heart Wellness Centre clients and our senior dietitian. Following that, these clients shared about their rehabilitation journey with the President, while two other clients presented him with their tokens of appreciation. The event concluded with a leadership sharing session by Chairman, CEO and other senior leaders of SHF, which provided President Tharman with insights into our achievements and challenges. We are truly honoured to have Mr President, Board members and all our clients join us in celebrating this milestone! #SingaporeHeartFoundation #SHF #YourHeartWeCare 

On National Life Saving Day 2025, we witnessed the power of unity, compassion, and the life-changing impact of CPR+AED training. Over 185 attendees from 53 institutions; notably, many first-time participants from the education, sports safety, and healthcare sectors joined us to address the links between heat injuries, sudden cardiac arrest, sports safety and lifesaving measures, bringing us closer to our mission of a heart-safe Singapore. Special thanks to our Board members A/Prof Chi Keong Ching who opened the event by emphasising the urgent need to address sports safety and emergency response due to increasing incidents of exercise-related cardiac events and heat-related injuries, Prof Marcus Ong for updating the National Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest (OHCA) Report 2021, and Asst Prof Tee Joo Yeo for his insightful presentation on sudden cardiac arrest during exercise. #yourheartwecare #SingaporeHeartFoundation #SHF #heartsafe #cpraed
