MSF and the police said it was unsafe for her children to remain at home following multiple police reports about her family.
The three children of activist Han Hui Hui have been taken into protective care amidst safety concerns and an ongoing police investigation.
Following an "altercation" that allegedly happened on Feb. 15 between the children and Han's mother-in-law, they were taken to the hospital, a joint statement by the Ministry of Family and Social Development (MSF) and the police said.
They were responding to a Facebook livestream that Han put on Feb. 28, in which she claimed that she was not allowed to see her children at the hospital and that they had been taken away from her two weeks earlier, The Straits Times reported.
Han also alleged that her children were "perfectly happy and healthy" with her, but that they had become sad and ill after MSF took them from her care.
Han's children are aged three, five and six.
According to the joint statement, the police had deemed it unsafe for Han's children to remain within her home, and that they had received reports about Han and her husband since August 2025.
This includes allegations against Han and her husband about their children's safety and welfare.
The reports also include allegations of violence amongst Han, her husband and her mother-in-law, against each other.
Following the reports, a child protection specialist centre came up with a plan for her's children safety, to which Han and her husband agreed, with Han's mother-in-law overseeing the children's care.
However, following the implementation of this plan, the police continued receiving reports, which included mutual allegations by Han and her mother-in-law against each other.
The children were then taken to the hospital on Feb. 15.
According to MSF and the police, this was done on the grounds that a hospital is also a facility that has been designated to keep children who may have been abused safe.
The statement highlighted that the person who was supposed to keep the children safe, as per the initial plan, had been involved in an "incident" with them.
There were also no other suitable adults who could keep them safe.
On Feb. 19, Han and her husband signed a voluntary care agreement with MSF's Protective Service (PSV) for her children to remain in hospital.
The PSV investigates cases of child abuse.
Under the agreement with PSV, Han and her husband were allowed to visit their children on a weekly, supervised basis.
Alternative care options for the children's safety were also explored.
The PSV arranged for Han to visit her children on Feb. 20 and 26, and for her husband to visit them on Feb. 21 and 27.
The PSV also contacted Han on Feb. 28 to inform her that her children had a fever.
She visited her children on Mar. 1.

The statement also added that the authorities are unable to say more due to ongoing investigations.
