Held at the Grand Lobby of Island Hospital, the carnival attracted a large crowd eager to engage in various health-related activities and gain valuable insights from medical experts.
The carnival kicked off with the highly anticipated official launch of PruPanel Plus, a new initiative aimed at enhancing healthcare access and services for the community.

Following the launch, attendees enjoyed an informative health talk on “Living with Knee Pain: When Is It Time to Consider Total Knee Replacement?” by Dr. Ng Khai Oon, Consultant Orthopaedic & Joint Reconstruction Surgeon. The talk drew great interest, providing practical advice and dispelling common misconceptions about knee health.
The afternoon continued with a series of interactive booths and activities that kept participants engaged. The Dietetic, Ophthalmology, Rehabilitation, and Kids Station booths offered fun and educational experiences for all ages. A highlight of the day was the Blood Donation Drive, which received a heartwarming response from community members, embodying the spirit of “Save a Life, Be a Hero.”
