A group of IHH Singapore employees, comprising patient care assistants (PCAs) from Parkway East Hospital and Mount Elizabeth Hospital, recently demonstrated extraordinary heroism when they saved the life of a man who collapsed at the Johor Bahru checkpoint. Their swift and selfless actions, performed while off-duty, underscore the dedication and compassion that define our medical professionals.
Despite being off duty, Vinoshini Sandrasagaran, Shareen Kaur Ranjit Singh, and Subhashini Subramaniam from Parkway East Hospital, and Nanthini Kumaran and Hemadevi Balakrishnan from Mount Elizabeth Hospital, worked together to administer CPR and call for emergency support.
Their swift, coordinated actions kept the man’s circulation going until the Malaysian checkpoint's emergency response team arrived and took over. Eyewitnesses praised the group as heroes for their composure and rapid response under pressure.
Ivan Khor, CEO of Parkway East Hospital, and Sherrie Lim, CEO of Mount Elizabeth Hospital, lauded the five PCAs in a joint statement. They praised their "composure, compassion, and selfless actions," noting that their professionalism extends beyond the hospital walls.
