The HIFU unit in Farrer Park Hospital, Singapore was opened in July, 2018. It is headed by Dr Lee Keen Whye, who is one of the founding board member of APAGE and founding director of Singapore O&G. The HIFU unit is the first HIFU Center around the world opened to all doctors in Singapore. Currently a group of 10 doctors perform HIFU treatment in the center.

新加坡斐瑞醫院HIFU中心于2018年7月開業，中心主任是亞太婦科內窺鏡與微創外科治療協會（APAGE）創始理事、新加坡O&G婦產醫療集團(Singapore O&G)創始理事李建威醫生。該HIFU中心是全球首家對所有新加坡醫生開放的(HIFU中心，目前已有10名醫生在該中心開展HIFU治療。

In response to the call by Dr. Lee, an event themed, "Connecting the World with Love and Preserving the Womb” was held on International Women’s Day, 8th March 2020, code named IWD-HIFU. 

響應李醫生的號召，一項名為““疫見真情·愛連世界”的公益活動在2020年3月8日舉行，活動代號為“IWD-HIFU”。

Despite the constraints of COVID-19, IWD-HIFU, a multi-center HIFU treatment event, was initiated in Chongqing, China. Forty one Chinese and overseas HIFU centers simultaneously performed HIFU surgeries for women patients. This IWD-HIFU event was broadcasted live by connection to the Haifu Telemedicine Big Data Center headquartered in Chongqing. 

盡管受到新型冠狀病毒的限制，這項代號為“IWD-HIFU”的多中心的HIFU治療活動在中國重慶發起，41家中國和境外的HIFU中心同時為女性患者開展HIFU治療。這項活動通過連接到位于重慶總部的海扶遠程醫療大數據中心進行時實時轉播。

Dr Lee said while calling for the International Women’s Day event - “The World is preoccupied with fighting COVID-19, climate change and economic uncertainties. However, women’s health and wellbeing should not be overshadowed by these events. While we cannot avoid sufferings of women caused by nature and sickness, we should lessen their pain with whatever means”.

李醫生在號召這項活動時談到 “全球正專注于抗擊新型冠狀病毒疫情、應對氣候變化和經濟的不穩定。然而，女性的健康 和福祉不應被這些事情所遮蓋而被忽略。盡管我們無法避免女性遭受自然和疾病帶來的傷害， 但是我們應盡所能提供一切方法減輕女性的痛苦。

During this COVID-19 pandemic, Dr Lee is still doing HIFU treatment every week via the aid of tele-medicine support.

在疫情期間，李醫生每周仍然在遠程醫療的支持下開展HIFU治療。
