Dr Lim Yang Chern is a Paediatrician with a special focus on Paediatric Emergencies. He graduated from the National University of Singapore (NUS) in 2004 and received his post-graduate Paediatric training at National University Hospital (NUH), Singapore. He attained his post-graduate specialist qualification with the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (UK) and has a Master of Medicine in Paediatrics from NUS.

Dr Lim trained and worked in Singapore’s two dedicated Paediatric Emergency Departments – KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital (KKH) and NUH Children’s Emergency (CE’s), where he was responsible for leading life-threatening emergency resuscitations and balancing multiple priority patients amidst the heavy patient load. Managing the large volume of patients that pass through the CE’s doors, Dr Lim has deep knowledge and experience in the rapid and accurate assessment, diagnosis and treatment of all kinds of paediatric emergencies, especially the management of very ill children and traumatic injuries such as lacerations and fractures. He is also well-versed in evaluating, treating and differentiating between medical, and surgical conditions and traumatic injuries.

Dr Lim’s clinical practice seeks to bring peace of mind to both patients and their parents. Through his expertise in the application of bedside point-of-care ultrasound, he is able to diagnose his young patients more accurately and administer appropriate and effective treatment, speeding up the recovery process.

Being the father of three lovely children, Dr Lim is a family man at heart and can appreciate the challenges of being a parent. He firmly believes that a strong partnership between parents and their children will always translate to well-rounded and well-adjusted children.
