As Singapore goes into a circuit breaker because of the COVID-19 outbreak, businesses such as the F&B industry are taking a big hit, and many others are encouraged to practise telecommuting or cease operations unless absolutely necessary. But for frontline warriors  such as doctors, healthcare workers and other service providers such as cleaners in the healthcare sector, work doesn’t stop and many of them are putting their lives on the line while helping people who are affected by the disease.

Dr Iroshini Chua, together with her husband Dr Kevin Chua, are also part of these resilient healthcare fighters in Singapore. While their practice specialises in aesthetic procedures, the couple have partnered with the government as part of the Public Health Preparedness Clinics (PHPC), where primary care clinics respond to public health emergencies through a single scheme for better management.
