OUR INSTITUTIONS

In tandem with battling COVID-19, TTSH continues to forge ahead in transforming care for residents in the Central Region of Singapore. Its strong relationships with health and social partners, culture of continuous learning and innovation, as well as sustained emphasis on collective leadership, have been instrumental in building a ‘Community of Care’ to achieve better population health outcomes for a Healthier SG.

In FY2021, the National Centre for Infectious Diseases (NCID) continued to focus its efforts on battling COVID-19, including tackling new waves of infections caused by the Delta and Omicron variants. Besides NCID’s contributions to Singapore’s COVID-19 response, it also worked at keeping the population safe from other infectious diseases.

From being operationally resilient to cross-training staff, Yishun Health remains equipped and ready to care for patients in the North, while also prioritising the well-being of staff. In the community, the Population Health & Community Transformation team continues to educate and empower residents and partners, and is a bedrock for the nation’s move towards a Healthier SG.

In line with our promise to deliver “Better Health. With You”, Woodlands Health (WH) has been working closely with community and primary care partners to bring care to residents in the North-Western region, ahead of its official opening in 2023.

With preventive health as the main tenet of Healthier SG, the Institute of Mental Health (IMH) — together with community partners, social service agencies (SSAs), and general practitioners (GPs) — are spearheading a collective effort to provide early intervention by incorporating mental health initiatives within physical health setups, to ensure the holistic well-being of Singapore residents.

Primary care is the bedrock of Singapore’s care transformation journey. For more than two decades, National Healthcare Group Polyclinics (NHGP) has been working hard to achieve a future-ready primary care ecosystem — one that is sustainable, accessible, and effective in improving population health.

The National Skin Centre (NSC) seeks to improve and advance the skin health of the population by setting the highest standard of excellence in dermatological care, education, and research. NSC’s continued efforts extend into the community through collaborations with social and community partners to deliver holistic care for all residents.
