We are a recognised International Haemophilia Training Centre (IHTC) with the World Federation of Haemophilia (WFH), in collaboration with the Department of Haematology at Singapore General Hospital, and host fellows funded via the WFH IHTC Fellowship Programme. We also contribute to education and outreach efforts via the Association for Haemophilia and Allied Disorders Asia-Pacific (AHADAP) and International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH).

The programme builds on the Department’s general paediatric surgery cum paediatric urology fellowship, which has trained clinical fellows and observers from Southeast Asia since 2013. In a similar vein, doctors who complete the training will return to their home countries with the newly gained expertise and experience to contribute towards enhancing their countries’ clinical and research capabilities, particularly in the care of paediatric brain and solid tumours.

The VIVA-KKH Paediatric Brain and Solid Tumour Programme will be providing sponsorship for this fellowship to selected medical doctors from less developed countries in the region, as part of its education and exchange initiatives to enhance inter-institutional collaboration, reach out to the broader population in Southeast Asia and integrate training and education into our healthcare and research activities. One of the key aims is for the doctors who have completed the fellowship to return to their home countries with newly gained expertise and experience. We hope to contribute towards enhancing their countries’ clinical and research capabilities, particularly in the care of paediatric brain and solid tumours.
