3.8 Million Patients.pdf

SingHealth, Singapore's largest public healthcare provider, sees over 3.8 million patient visits annually across its institutions, including Singapore General Hospital, KK Women's and Children's Hospital, and others. The organization aims to provide specialized acute tertiary care and post-discharge care, leveraging its vantage point to deliver optimal care at the best value. SingHealth is committed to continually improving coordination within its institutions and with the community, with a focus on person-centered care. The organization is also advancing medical research and education, with initiatives such as the SGH Campus redevelopment and expansion, and the introduction of new technologies like telehealth and proton therapy. Community hospitals, like those in Sengkang and Outram, form a critical bridge in care transition, providing overall better care and rehabilitation for patients. SingHealth has developed new models of care, including the SingHealth Duke-NUS Disease Centres, which provide complete oversight of care delivery and outcomes. The organization is also working to improve patient experience through initiatives like online portals and medication pickup services. With the recent public healthcare restructuring, SingHealth will grow further by tapping into Eastern Health Alliance's strengths in areas like geriatrics and emergency medicine.
