Standing Together. Standing Strong. #IStandWithYou As we begin 2026, we are honoured to announce that registrations are now open for Wear Yellow SG EndoMarch 2026 , taking place on 28 March 2026, Saturday, at 10 Square @ Orchard Central . With two months to go, we enter the final phase of preparation for our annual flagship awareness event. This year, more than ever, we come together with one clear message: #IStandWithYou . Why #IStandWithYou Endometriosis is often lived in s

As we come to the close of 2025, my heart is filled with deep gratitude. Gratitude for the trust you have placed in E for Endometriosis. Gratitude for every message, every conversation, every shared story. And gratitude for every donation that has allowed us to keep showing up, quietly and consistently, for a community that so often feels unseen. Every contribution supports more than programmes. It sustains safe spaces for patients and caregivers. It keeps education accessibl

We’re excited to announce our most anticipated annual flagship event, Wear Yellow SG EndoMarch 2026, held every March in honour of International Endometriosis Awareness Month. Powered entirely by volunteers, patients, caregivers, and allies, this movement is rooted in the belief that endometriosis does not exist in isolation. It affects families, relationships, workplaces, and lives far beyond the patient alone. Community, shared responsibility, and education remain at the he

Today, E for Endometriosis turns 13 🎉 This post is for Bharti, who believed in the work when it was still taking shape, and for everyone who held space for this community in its early days. Thank you to those who believed. Thank you to those who stayed. Thank you for growing this community, together. 💛 Happy 13th E for Endometriosis!

Today, on the eve of E for Endometriosis turning 13 , I find myself sitting with a deep sense of gratitude and a quiet question that has lived in my heart for many years.   Dr. Peter Barton-Smith  has done so much for Singapore in the area of complex gynaecological and endometriosis care, especially for patients whose conditions were severe, misunderstood, or repeatedly dismissed. From 2013 to 2016, during his time at Singapore General Hospital (SGH), he played a pivotal role

This session marked the conclusion of our E for Endometriosis Quarterly Zoom Series for 2025:   We were deeply honoured to have Dr. Eleanor Loh , a patient turned doctor, who shared her lived and clinical perspectives on endometriosis with depth, thoughtfulness, and compassion. Drawing from both sides of care, she spoke about the realities many patients live with daily, the emotional and psychological weight that often goes unseen, and the importance of approaching endometrio

Last weekend was a deeply meaningful one for me. I had the honour of speaking at WEtalk 2025, an initiative by Project WE (Women’s Empowerment), led by medical students from the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine at the National University of Singapore. Knowing that this platform is rooted within such a respected and thoughtful institution gave the entire experience a sense of depth and purpose. It is a space created to guide young people into conversations that matter, especial

#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
