NUCMI), the paediatric arm of the National University Hospital. KTP-NUCMI is also the principal teaching
facility of the Department of Paediatrics in the National University of Singapore’s Medical School. The focus
of NUHkids’ academic, research and clinical programmes is to find better ways to assess, manage and treat
paediatric conditions to enable our young patients to realise their fullest potential and achieve their best in
health and in life.
Philanthropic support provides us with the extra assistance to excel in what we do – provide the best possible
outcomes for our young patients. Your support will help to change the future of these young lives in

2018 HEART OF GOLD AWARDEE
I K E A S I N G A P O R E ( I K A N O P T E LT D )
Battling diseases and attending medical check-ups can be distressing, especially for children. With the
vision to create a better patient experience for our young patients, IKEA sparked joy by furnishing
all nursing rooms and the Rehabilitation Centre at the new Paediatric outpatient building!
Both mothers and children have taken comfort in the nursing rooms that feel like home, common areas
that feel like children's theme park, whilst staff take advantage of the smart and beautiful storage
solutions that organise spaces so effectively in the consultation rooms.
Thanks to IKEA's big hearts, sustainable products and inspiring designs, our young patients and their
families enjoy their hospital visits. For their commitment and generosity, IKEA is honoured as our Heart
of Gold awardee for 2018!
"When sharing the same values, the journey is much more
enjoyable than the destination. Thank you, NUHkids, for
letting IKEA be part of your new beautiful building!"
