Liver Transplant Support Group

A liver transplant is a major and life-changing procedure for patients with advanced liver disease. The transplant journey often involves complex medical care, uncertainty while awaiting a suitable donor, and ongoing adjustments after surgery. For both patients and their families, this process can be physically demanding and emotionally overwhelming.

The SingHealth Liver Transplant Support Group provides a safe and supportive space for individuals awaiting liver transplantation, those who have undergone transplant surgery, as well as their caregivers and family members. It complements SGH’s multidisciplinary transplant care approach, where patients receive holistic support from a team of specialists and allied health professionals throughout the transplant journey.

Support groups within SGH play an important role in offering emotional and psychological support, helping patients and caregivers connect with others who understand the challenges of serious medical conditions and recovery. Through shared experiences and guided discussions, participants can find reassurance, encouragement, and practical insights at different stages of their journey.

Who this is for

• SGH patients awaiting liver transplantation
• SGH patients who have undergone liver transplant surgery
• Family members and caregivers supporting transplant patients

How we support patients and caregivers

• Opportunities to share personal journeys and experiences in a supportive group setting
• Peer support from individuals at different stages of the transplant process
• Discussions on coping with transplant-related challenges, including recovery and emotional well-being
• Guidance on medication management, lifestyle adjustments, and long-term care
• A community space that fosters encouragement, mutual support, and connection

Sessions provide a structured yet welcoming environment where participants can exchange experiences and learn from one another. Conversations often focus on navigating uncertainties before transplant, adapting to life after surgery, and finding ways to maintain overall well-being.

By strengthening connections among patients and caregivers, the group helps build confidence and a sense of continuity throughout the transplant journey, while reinforcing that support is available at every stage of care.
