My Story
Dear Friends, Just once in a while – a cause will tug at your heartstrings and, you will know that you have to do something about it. And, for me, SCS’s CEOs Against Cancer - was that one. Without hesitation, I signed up to support the Race Against Cancer 2015.

At Abbott - Helping people live healthier, happier and better lives
Abbott has been delivering the power of health for 45 years in Singapore. Having led the team in Singapore for over a decade, it is only natural for me to support causes that nurture human health so individuals can live healthier, happier and better lives.
At Abbott, we are committed to helping people live life to the fullest. We are constantly advancing science and bringing to market innovations to improve people’s health, including those affected by cancer. As a diversified global healthcare company, we create new solutions – in diagnostics, medical devices, nutrition and branded generic pharmaceuticals that help people around the world live better. We believe that good health is not merely about treating disease and managing medical conditions. But rather, it is the foundation for everything else we can achieve – as individuals and as societies – allowing people and communities to accomplish more.
For example, our diagnostic tests help guide physicians’ treatment decisions across a number of diseases including cancer and delivering gene-based tests that can be used to select appropriate patients who are most likely to respond to certain cancer therapies. In our nutrition portfolio, we have unique science-based formulations, backed by several clinical trials, that help cancer patients prevent or minimize cancer-induced weight loss and support cancer survivors maintain healthy weight and good nutrition. My team at Abbott is highly motivated to help more people through community initiatives that reach caregivers and patients with cancer.
On the home front – Staying strong
On the home front, this cause is close to my heart as it has been 11-year journey with my husband battling cancer. Through the advances in medical care and by God’s grace, my husband remains generally well, and he is able to continue with many of the activities he enjoys. His positive outlook and faith are an inspiration to me and to my family and friends. And, here is a word of encouragement for patients and caregivers from my heart to yours “Trust in God. Always harbor hope - take time to enjoy each day.”
Donate. Let’s touch lives together
On 13th September, as the sun rises, I will be lacing up my running shoes at Angsana Green on East Coast Park, joining other business leaders in the community in a race to raise funds to support SCS’s programmes and services. I hope to raise at least S$1 for every kilometer I run. My goal is to net at least S$5,000 for SCS with the support of my colleagues, friends and family. Help me raise funds for this meaningful cause - so that no one fights cancer alone.
Thank you for your generosity.
Sincerely,
Hui Hwa Koh-Minjoot
