Singapore’s First Public Clinic for Flat Head Syndrome Treatment Opens at KKH, ET HealthWorld
Singapore: KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital (KKH) has launched a specialised clinic for the assessment and treatment of plagiocephaly and brachycephaly, conditions also known as flat head syndrome.
The hospital claims that the clinic is Singapore’s first dedicated Plagio Centre. The hospital also claims it to be the first public hospital in Singapore to offer 3D-printed helmets as part of its treatment options.
“Flat head syndrome is relatively common, but it is also highly preventable and treatable. The rise in the number of cases reflect increased awareness among parents and caregivers of the importance of early detection and timely intervention. With the KKH PlagioCentre, we can help infants during this important stage of development and ensure that every child has the best start in life,” said Dr Kavitha V Sothirasan, Lead of the KKH PlagioCentre, Department of Neonatology, KKH.
