(KKH). He championed active collaboration among multi-centre and multidisciplinary groups that further enhanced
the standard of childhood cancer care in Singapore. Dr Chui has remained active in the international arena in
Paediatric Surgical Oncology, having served in the executive board of the International Society of Paediatric Surgical
Oncology for 10 years.
