As the Covid-19 outbreak rages on, medical workers are toiling hard to render care for patients who require it.

Apart from advising doctors, nurses, and swabbers, she also helped by performing simple healthcare duties herself.

Her “assuring and gentle” persona stood out to Mr Chua, who was quickly curious about her identity.

 

Turns out she is Sengkang Hospital’s chairman

Afterwards, Mr Chua approached a nurse, who revealed that the enigmatic lady is actually Professor Ong Biauw Chi, the chairman of the hospital’s medical board.

Helping with frontline duties, Prof Ong leads by example and showed exemplary leadership during this critical time.

In Mr Chua’s words,

Being a leader is not just a title. It is getting your hands dirty and doing what you preach.

Prof Ong’s display of solidarity touched the hearts of many Singaporeans, many of whom commended her in the comments.

A true leader

As the fight against Covid-19 rages on, it is heartening to see a team of dedicated individuals banding together to ensure that we are well taken care of.

It is even more comforting, knowing our frontline staff are in the hands of a leader who pushes for improvement by ‘walking the walk’ together with them.

We send our thanks healthcare workers giving their all to combat the virus and hope they will remain safe while performing their duties.
