#ThrowbackThursday   There are moments in life that stay with you long after the day has ended. Last week’s Patient Voices Symposium was one of those moments for me. What many did not see was that my period came the night before, unexpectedly early and painfully intense. It was my first cycle after surgery, and the pain was maddening. I had to be on high doses of painkillers just to remain upright, let alone to stand through a gallery walk and speak to participants.   But wha

To support our wider community, I have prepared a simple downloadable overview that brings together the core resources and programmes offered by E for Endometriosis. This guide includes information about our free quarterly Zoom sessions, our YouTube and resource library, upcoming events, collaborations and the different ways you can take part in our advocacy work. Whether you are here to learn, to seek support or to better understand someone you care about, I hope this guide

Yesterday was a remarkable day at the Patient Voices Symposium 2025. Standing among these ten patient partners was something I will hold close for a long time. Each of us came with different conditions and different histories, yet we stood united in the same purpose. We showed what resilience looks like when ordinary people walk into extraordinary challenges and still choose to give back. I want to thank the organisers and the entire team at OPEN for creating a space where li

We’re proud to introduce Ms. Hafezah Saleh, our moderator for the upcoming Zoom session “Bridging the Gap: A Patient Turned Doctor’s Perspective on Endometriosis.” Ms. Hafezah is an experienced professional whose resilience and compassion have shaped her advocacy journey. After receiving a late diagnosis of endometriosis in her early thirties, she has navigated its challenges with strength and grace, combining medical and holistic approaches to reclaim her health and clarity.

Wear Yellow SG EndoMarch 2026 is calling for volunteers to share a five minute reflection for our Voices from the Community segment at our in person event on 28 March 2026, 11.30 am to 4 pm, at 10 Square Orchard Central. We especially hope to hear from male allies — sons, husbands, and fathers — including voices from Chinese and Indian families so our sharing reflects the wider Singapore community. If you or someone you know is open to a brief sharing, please email by the end

This morning feels quietly surreal. To be featured in today’s Berita Harian for the upcoming Patient Voices Symposium 2025 is something I never imagined when I was that young girl trying to make sense of pain that had no name. From the eleven-year-old who endured endless discomfort to the woman diagnosed with Stage 4 Endometriosis, this journey has always been about more than just surviving. It has been about transforming pain into purpose and using my voice to create space f

These are the ten patient partners featured in the OPEN Voices Gallery Walk, part of the upcoming Patient Voices Symposium 2025, happening on 19 November at NTU Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine. I feel deeply humbled to be representing Endometriosis, and to be the only Malay patient partner featured this year. To see my journey among voices shaping how medicine listens and learns is something I never imagined when I was simply trying to make sense of my own pain. The Office
