When you seek medical help at KKH, you know you’re not alone. We’ve set up several support groups for our patients and their families.

You’ll realise that there are others like you whom you can share your fears and frustrations, hopes and happiness with.

Managed by the hospital’s lactation consultants and counsellors, the group counsels and teaches mothers the proper techniques of breastfeeding.

It also provides counselling over the phone for mothers who have been discharged from the hospital.

To further encourage mothers to breastfeed their babies, sharing sessions by experienced breastfeeding moms are organised every 2 months. The group aims to provide a platform for breastfeeding mothers to discuss and share their concerns.

This group provides a network of support for mothers who experience depression and anxiety during pregnancy and the postnatal period. It provides mothers with an opportunity to share their experiences and practical information about the condition, and offers tips on coping.

Sessions are conducted in English and are facilitated by case managers. It is held on the 1st Tuesday of the month. For more information, please call 6394 3739.
