Two data points:

The Singapore Code of Medical Ethics is very clear that doctors are not permitted to refuse treatment to anyone - see http://www.healthprofessionals.gov.sg/content/hprof/smc/en/topnav/guidelines/ethical_code_and_ethical_guidelines.html

Consent issues are governed by the laws of Singapore. For children, "The legal right to give consent for children lies with persons of legal parental responsibility" - see https://www.sma.org.sg/UploadedImg/files/Publications%20-%20SMA%20News/4508/CMEP.pdf
