About the St. Jude–VIVA Forum 2027

Jointly organised by the VIVA Foundation for Children with Cancer, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital (KKH), and National University Hospital (NUH). Since its inception, the Forum has grown into a leading platform for education, networking, and collaboration among paediatric oncology professionals across Asia.

The Main Forum brings together leading minds for three days of keynote lectures and interactive discussions, covering a broad spectrum of topics and depths of practice. Over the years, SJVF has expanded to include subspecialty meetings such as the St. Jude–VIVA Paediatric Surgical Oncology Symposium, VIVA–Asia Blood and Marrow Transplant Spring School, St. Jude-VIVA Paediatric Pathology Symposium, St. Jude–VIVA Paediatric Neurosurgical Oncology Symposium, VIVA Family Educational Day, VIVA–Asia Learning Exchange, and the VIVA–Asia Nursing Symposium. These gatherings have united global and regional experts to bridge gaps between developed and developing countries, strengthen clinical and research collaborations, and build enduring networks across the paediatric oncology community.

The 21st St. Jude–VIVA Forum, taking place from 5–7 March 2027, continues this tradition of excellence through a comprehensive programme of specialised meetings and the World Speakers’ Series. Distinguished international experts will lead sessions on liquid and solid tumours, sharing insights into the latest advances in paediatric oncology and providing opportunities for learning, discussion, and collaboration.

Venues: One Farrer Hotel, Singapore and various other venues.

Participants can look forward to valuable opportunities for collaboration and networking with scientists, doctors, nurses, and allied health professionals from around the world. As we embark on the next chapter, the 21st edition of SJVF, our mission remains constant: to provide better care, to improve survival, and to ensure that every child with cancer has the chance of a full and meaningful life, wherever they are in the world.

We warmly invite you to join us at the 21st St. Jude–VIVA Forum, as we continue to share knowledge, strengthen partnerships, and advance paediatric cancer care across Asia and beyond — working towards a world where no child dies in the dawn of life.
