Mental health in healthcare is not a luxury—it is an absolute necessity to sustain the people who care for others every day.
This week at Institut Jantung Negara (IJN), we had the privilege of hosting a vital talk and panel discussion on “Navigating Mental Health Challenges in Cardiology Nursing.” The session brought together healthcare leaders and professionals to explore the emotional realities, pressures, and resilience required within today’s frontline healthcare workforce.
A heartfelt thank you to our distinguished speaker and panelists for sharing their invaluable expertise, lived experiences, and regional insights:
Speaker: Alex Diong, Regional Director APAC, Lyra Health

Supporting healthcare professionals starts with listening, understanding, and creating environments where wellbeing is prioritised—not only for patients, but also for the incredible people who care for them.
