About Us

With a network of acute hospitals, national specialty centres, community hospitals and polyclinics offering over 40 clinical specialties, the SingHealth Duke-NUS Academic Medical Centre draws on the collective strengths of SingHealth and Duke-NUS Medical School to drive the transformation of healthcare and provide affordable, accessible and quality healthcare.



As an Academic Medical Centre, the convergence of clinical care, education and research enables us to pursue innovations to deliver better and more accessible care to our patients. Beyond hospital walls, we have taken strides to build a strong care network with our partners, to enable our population to receive the right care close to their homes.

Our Common Purpose

We are united by our common purpose to put ‘Patients. At the Heart of All We Do.’  Our institutions may span from primary to acute care but the fundamental principle to place patients at the heart of all initiatives remains.
