SingHealth Solid Organ Transplant Patient Support Group

The SingHealth Solid Organ Transplant Patient Support Group brings together patients and caregivers who are at different stages of the transplant journey. This includes patients on the transplant waitlist, solid organ transplant recipients, living donors who have donated a kidney or part of a liver, and caregivers.

Recognising that transplantation is a lifelong commitment, the support group aims to provide ongoing care, connection, and reassurance throughout the journey, including post‑transplant. This platform also allows patients and caregivers from different solid organ transplant programmes—heart, lung, liver, and kidney—to come together, share common experiences, and support one another beyond programme‑specific care.

Sessions cover relevant and often light‑hearted topics, creating opportunities for shared learning, meaningful conversations, and the building of new friendships within the transplant community.

Who this is for

This support group is open to:

Solid organ transplant recipients (heart, lung, liver, or kidney)
Caregivers of transplant patients
Living donors who have donated a kidney or part of a liver
Patients on the waiting list for a solid organ transplant

How members of the SingHealth Solid Organ Transplant Patient Support Group can benefit

Members of the Solid Organ Transplant Patient Support Group benefit from being part of a supportive community that understands the complexities of the transplant journey across different stages and organ programmes.

Members can benefit by:

Connecting with others who share similar experiences, including transplant recipients, donors, caregivers, and patients on the waiting list, helping to reduce feelings of isolation.
Learning practical insights and coping strategies for life before and after transplant, including long‑term care, lifestyle adjustments, and emotional well‑being.
Gaining reassurance and perspective by hearing from others who are navigating or have navigated similar challenges across heart, lung, liver, and kidney transplant journeys.
Building meaningful relationships and peer support, fostering confidence, encouragement, and a sense of belonging within the transplant community.

Together, these experiences help members feel supported, informed, and more confident as they move through different phases of the transplant journey.
