What’s it really like being a male nurse in a female-dominated industry? Can men thrive in a profession built on caring for others/strangers? And how does someone go from doubting their place in the ward to leading thousands across the healthcare system?

In today's episode of The Daily Ketchup, we celebrate 140 years of nursing in Singapore and sit down with A/Prof Yong Keng Kwang, Group Chief Nurse at NHG Health and Assistant CEO at the Institute of Mental Health. With nearly three decades of experience from his early days in the neurology ICU department handling traumatic brain injuries and stroke cases, to his work in pain management, nursing leadership and care innovation, he shares what it really takes to be a nurse, a leader, and combat the misconception that the space is dominated by women.
