Dr. Ida graduated from Glasgow University in 1997. She obtained her specialist accreditation (MRCOG UK) in 2010 and was awarded the fellowship in RCOG (FRCOG UK) in October 2023 for her contributions to obstetrics & gynaecology.

Dr. Ida is an accredited colposcopist with the British Society of Colposcopy and Cervical Pathology (BSCCP) and a certified colposcopist with the Society of Colposcopy and Cervical Pathology Singapore (SCCPS). She is currently the President of SCCPS.

Formerly based in Scotland, United Kingdom, Dr. Ida came to Singapore in 2013, where she joined the O&G Department at National University Hospital (NUH) as the lead colposcopist and streamlined the colposcopy and gynaecological cancer screening and prevention service in NUH.

Dr Ida also championed the introduction of the HPV DNA test in NUH in 2014. Under Dr Ida’s leadership, NUH was the first hospital to introduce HPV Primary Screening in Singapore. Her work in HPV DNA test in NUH led to her being elected as Co-Chair for the Cervical Screen Singapore Implementation group, given the responsibility to update the national cervical cancer screening guideline and implementing HPV test as part of the national guideline.

Dr Ida is also known internationally as an expert in HPV-related diseases. She co-created and is currently the co-director of the International Gynaecology Cancer Society (IGCS) Preinvasive Certificate Program, training doctors globally in cervical cancer prevention, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. She leads the Project ECHO meeting for the International Papillomavirus Society (IPVS), which gives a platform for doctors globally to seek advice from experts on managing HPV-related diseases. She is also the Secretary and founding member of the Asia Pacific HPV Coalition, a recognised group of selected experts in HPV-related diseases, improving access to cervical cancer prevention in the Asia Pacific through research and advocacy. Additionally, Dr. Ida serves as the President of the Society of Colposcopy and Cervical Pathology Singapore (SCCPS), which is dedicated to education and training aimed at preventing and managing premalignancy and early malignancy of the female lower genital tract.

Dr Ida’s other passion for pregnancy and safe childbirth is rooted in an understanding that women’s health and pregnancy are a partnership between the doctor and the couple. Dr Ida sees herself as a guide for each couple, providing them with the information and support they require through their pregnancy and childbirth. Dr Ida is an advocate for safe, normal childbirth but is also proficient in all instrumental vaginal deliveries and caesarean sections should these are required to ensure a safe delivery for both mother and baby.

Dr Ida is fluent in English, Malay and Bahasa Indonesia.
