“Celebrating my incredible mentor, Prof. Cheng-Har Yip on her exciting move to the new Hospital Picaso.

Today marked the grand opening of the Breast & Women’s Health Centre, and what can I say—they are truly fortunate to have her!

Wishing Prof. Yip, the best of health, a peaceful mind, and endless success in this new chapter. The event was nothing short of spectacular, and I’m so grateful for the chance to reconnect with so many familiar faces.

Here’s to new beginnings and lifelong friendships!”
