The HELMS Programme Invites GPs to Refer Patients for Research Study

AN INTERVENTIONAL STUDY TO OPTIMISE CARE THROUGHOUT THE PRECONCEPTION, PREGNANCY AND POSTPARTUM JOURNEY

The Healthy Early Life Moments in Singapore (HELMS) programme by KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital (KKH) is a research study which aims to optimise the metabolic health and mental wellness of women, to: 

  1. Improve fertility

  2. Lower the risk of premature delivery and developing hypertension and diabetes 

  3. Promote the healthy growth of the child

HELMS supports women who are planning to conceive, aged between 21 and 40 years, and with a BMI of 25 to 40 kg/m2, through an integrated maternal-child care plan from preconception, throughout pregnancy and for the first 18 months after delivery.
