Dr Fong Hui Chai

Dr. Fong Hui Chai completed his undergraduate medical training in 2011 at Monash University, Australia, completed his residency with Singhealth, and is currently a Plastic Surgeon at the Singapore General Hospital. He is dual certified in Plastic Surgery with the Academy of Medicine in Singapore and the Royal College of Surgeons in Glasgow. 

Dr. Fong's clinical passion is performing reconstructive microsurgical techniques that precisely restore form and function. He has also taken the initiative in setting up a new complex wound clinic with the Vascular Surgery service at the Diabetic and Metabolic Centre, with the aim of developing neoteric, multi-disciplinary solutions for diabetic and vasculopathic ulcers. Apart from the treatment of complex reconstructive challenges, he is also an enthusiastic researcher. In addition to publishing and speaking internationally on a broad range of reconstructive topics, he has written several publications on microsurgical techniques for hepatic artery reconstruction in liver transplantation. Dr. Fong is also engaged in translational research, having been awarded funding support of $99,000 from the National Health Innovation Centre (NHIC) – I2D grant to develop a 3D-printed synthetic dermal substitute for partial thickness skin wounds with A*STAR. 

Outside of his clinical work, Dr. Fong is a keen educator, engaging in outreach programmes for medical students and organising biannual workshops on microsurgery for junior doctors and students.
