Dr Tan Kai Lit, Obstetrician and Gynaecologist

Dr Tan Kai Lit is a compassionate and highly skilled Obstetrician and Gynaecologist known for his patient-first approach to women’s health. With a commitment to evidence-based care, Dr Tan specialises in everything from routine check-ups and pregnancy care to advanced gynaecological procedures. With training in Fetal Medicine, he brings expertise in managing both routine and high-risk pregnancies, including ultrasound assessment of at-risk fetuses and prenatal screenings and ultrasounds to complex twin pregnancies and invasive diagnostic procedures. He was the former Head of Thomson Medical Centre’s Fetal Assessment Unit.

He is equally skilled in minimally invasive gynaecological surgery, including laparoscopic and hysteroscopic procedures for fibroids, ovarian cysts and endometrial polyps, helping women recover faster and with less discomfort. His further training in Fetoscopy under the Health Manpower Development Scheme at Hospital Clinic Barcelona honed his endoscopy skills. Beyond pregnancy, he provides comprehensive care spanning fertility evaluations, routine check-ups, pap smears, menopause management and treatment of gynaecological conditions.

Prior to entering private practice, he has served at various hospitals comprising Whittington Hospital (London), National University Hospital Singapore and most recently KK Women's and Children's Hospital where he was a Consultant and Adjunct Assistant Professor. He held teaching positions in Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, Duke-NUS Graduate Medical School and Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine. Awarded the Health Manpower Development Programme (HMDP) by Singhealth, he pursued further training in Fetal Medicine, in particular fetoscopy/fetal intervention in Hospital Clinic Barcelona, Spain, which has honed his endoscopy skills.

He has admission rights to Mount Alvernia Hospital, Thomson Medical Centre and the Parkway Hospitals (e.g. Mount Elizabeth Novena Hospital, Gleneagles etc).
