National University Health System

The National University Health System (NUHS) is a group of healthcare institutions in Singapore. The group was formed in 2008 and operates several hospitals, national specialty centres, and polyclinics. The National University Hospital is the largest hospital in the group and serves as the flagship hospital for the cluster.

In January 2008, the National University Hospital and the National University of Singapore's Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine and Faculty of Dentistry came together to form the National University Health System. This will help meet the healthcare needs as it brings about synergy that will be achieved from the integration of education, and clinical care.

In 2017, the Ministry of Health (MOH) reorganised the public healthcare system into three integrated clusters to better meet Singaporeans' future healthcare needs, with National University Health System (NUHS) and Jurong Health Services merged. The Ng Teng Fong General Hospital (NTFGH), Jurong Community Hospital (JCH) and Jurong Medical Centre (JCM) were integrated under NUHS. The polyclinics were reorganised, in line with the three new clusters. A new polyclinic group called the National University Polyclinics group is formed and managed by NUHS.

In 2018, Alexandra Hospital came under the management of the NUHS.

The NUHS operates National University Polyclinics, a network of primary care polyclinics largely situated in the west of Singapore. They provide primary care services to the population in those areas, and also provide training for family medicine physicians.

The National University Hospital (NUH) was established in 1985 and it serves as a tertiary hospital, clinical training centre and research centre for the medical and dental faculties of the National University of Singapore (NUS).

Alexandra Hospital (AH) is Singapore's first integrated hospital combining acute and community care. It was originally established in 1938 as the British Military Hospital. It is a 326-bed hospital serving the Queenstown precinct, one of the oldest housing estates in Singapore.

The JurongHealth Campus is a regional health campus of the National University Health System (NUHS) of Singapore. The campus comprises the integrated 700-bed Ng Teng Fong General Hospital (NTFGH) and 400-bed Jurong Community Hospital (JCH).
