PaedsENGAGE Programme

What is PaedsENGAGE?

PaedsENGAGE is a collaborative initiative led by NUH and KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital (KKH) that partners with general practitioners in the private sector. This programme focuses on right-siting of care for children with mild to moderate paediatric conditions across Singapore. 

Lion Health has certified PaedsENGAGE doctors. Our doctors have completed training by NUH and KKH to manage common paediatric conditions.

Trained GP Care

Our doctors receive dedicated training and certification by NUH and KKH before treating your child under the PaedsENGAGE programme.

Reduced Fee at Children’s Emergency
(KKH or NUH)

If the doctor assesses your child’s condition as requiring emergency care at KKH or NUH Children’s Emergency, the referral includes a $50 subsidy on prevailing Children’s Emergency fees.

You must visit the Children’s Emergency within 12 hours of receiving the referral and present the original hardcopy referral form.

Continuity of Care

The hospital team keeps your PaedsENGAGE GP informed of your child’s condition, facilitating continued follow-up care when necessary.
