I had the most amazing labour and delivery experience at Assunta Hospital. From the moment I arrived, I was treated like a queen. My gynae, Dr. Ragu, provided exceptional care and reassurance throughout my entire journey. Dr. Joseph Lam, my anaesthesiologist, was professional, gentle, and made my experience so smooth. Dr. Lim, the paediatrician, cared for my baby with such warmth and thoroughness. A huge thank you to the Lavender Ward nurses and the nursery team, every nurse was kind, attentive, and genuinely caring. I was honestly so sad to leave because the level of care felt like home. Even the pastoral care team visited me and offered comfort and encouragement. I am deeply grateful to the entire Assunta team for making my delivery experience safe, peaceful, and truly memorable. Highly recommended for any expectant mother.

Honestly I do love this hospital. My first time here, I was under Dr. Lam, he has strict dad vibes but really a heart of gold. All the staff in Melor ward are kind and attentive. Sister Caroline from pastoral care is warm and puts everyone at ease. Will definitely return again. The 4 bedded rooms are large and spacious too. Thank you to the staff.
