| Abstract: | |
| The Singapore General Hospital (SGH) is the public sector's flagship hospital. Established in 1821, the SGH is Singapore's oldest and largest acute tertiary hospital and national referral centre. Following a major reorganisation of the public healthcare services initiated by the Ministry of Health, SGH came under the management of Singapore Health Services Pte Ltd, or SingHealth, when the company was incorporated on 31 March 2000. Together with four specialty centres located within the SGH campus, patients have ready access to more than 30 clinical specialties. The specialty centres include the Singapore National Eye Centre (SNEC), National Heart Centre (NHC), National Cancer Centre (NDC) and National Dental Centre (NDC). SGH also serves as the national referral centre for Plastic Surgery and Burns, Renal Medicine, Nuclear Medicine, Pathology and Haematology. With about 1,400 beds and a pool of over 500 specialists, SGH accounts for about a quarter of the total acute hospital beds in the public sector and about one-fifth of acute beds nationwide. Its official website features newsflash, patient services and event highlights, together with links to access information regarding its medical specialties and services, newsroom and calendar of events. Includes access to information for patients and visitors, and for doctors and healthcare professionals. The site also provides an online system for patients to make and change appointments. | |
