“Not all angels have wings, some wear scrubs,” so goes an anonymous internet quote in praise of medical staff.
But besides doctors and nurses, there are others without uniform who work quietly in the background (or foreground, in this case) to fight against the coronavirus during these tumultuous times.
Sandra Aw is the Head of Visitor Services at Singapore General Hospital (SGH).
Responding to the stigma faced by healthcare workers in recent weeks, Aw, who’s in her late 20s, said: “Personally, I haven’t felt stigmatised, because I wear civilian [clothes], so nobody knows I work in a healthcare setting.”
But there are other challenges that Aw faces on a daily basis at the hospital, such as maintaining crowd control and ensuring that the well-being of both patients and the general public are protected through the screening process. All these while making sure her team is assured that the hospital has taken measures to safeguard their health.
