CENTRE OF EXCELLENCE IN PAEDIATRIC &
CONGENITAL HEART CENTRE (PCHC)

Set up in September 2012, this unit is a one-stop centre for all paediatric and congenital heart needs. Its facilities and infrastructure provides comprehensive care for babies, children and adolescents with heart disease as well as adults with congenital heart disease. PCHC smoothens the flow of the processes of each service area, so patients and their caregivers can be assured a fast response and low waiting times.

 

Our integrated services care for patients from foetuses, through infancy, childhood and adolescence. Patients are referred to the Adult Congenital Heart Disease Clinics once above the age of 18.

Diagnosis and treatment services for congenital and acquired heart disease
in children and adult patients include:

GENERAL AND SPECIALISED OUTPATIENT CLINIC

It’s important to seek medical attention if you notice any symptoms or concerns related to your child’s health, as early diagnosis and treatment can help prevent more serious issues from developing.
