Children’s Intensive Care | KK Women's and Children's Hospital

When children suffer from an organ failure or are at high risk of developing such a problem they require admission to the Children's Intensive Care Unit (CICU).

A dedicated multi-disciplinary team of medical and nursing staff care for these children in our 16-bedded CICU.

Equipped with a complete range of medical technologies we care for medical, surgical and post-operative patients, including young children recovering from cardio-thoracic surgeries.

CICU serves over 700 patients a year who have on-site medical attention around the clock.

For children who have been discharged and require follow-up care, our homecare team extends on-site assessment, education and medical support within the patients' home environment.

Range of Services:

Critical care management of paediatric medical patients
Critical care, pre-operative and post-operative care of paediatric surgical patients including cardiac surgical patients
Multi-disciplinary team for cardio-pulmonary resuscitation
Children's Hospital Emergency Transport Services

Announcements 16 preschools establish a new service model to identify developmental, growth and oral health needs in children from 2 months old. Model to expand to more preschools Ella1 was enrolled as an 18-month-old playgroup (PG) student at a PCFSP at Punggol in October 2022. After a few months, as part of routine monitoring based on a surveillance checklist developed by MIP2, educators noted that compared to her peers, Ella was not communicating verbally and played alone. While Ella was able to follow instructions, she was unable to express her needs verbally. Typically, such behaviours may have been attributed to her young age and gone unidentified until they worsen. However, under the MIP2 service model and the guidance of the School Child Development Unit (SCDU), Ella was identified to be at risk and require low levels of support for developmental needs based on the MIP2 service model.
