Meet the #HealthHeroes

By Yun Xuan Poon and Joy Lim

A collection of stories celebrating the heroes that led us through the Covid-19 pandemic.

From setting up isolation facilities to treating Covid-positive patients; from training volunteers to ensuring chronic care continues - they’ve done it all.

These are the brave healthcare workers who have challenged their limits, pushed past fears and worked through sleepless nights - all to give patients the care they need and protect our health. We celebrated the selflessness and dedication they’ve so freely shown over the past year through illustrations and interviews.

Meet some of the #HealthHeroes of the Covid-19 pandemic.
