The
National University Health System (NUHS) is one of three public healthcare clusters in Singapore, and an integrated Academic Health System and Regional Health System that delivers value-driven, innovative and sustainable healthcare in Singapore.
We leverage our unique position as an Academic Health System to tap on the wealth of resources residing within the National University of Singapore (NUS). Through collaborations with NUS faculties, we are able to draw upon their academic, research and creative capabilities to develop solutions for existing and emerging health and healthcare needs.
As a Regional Health System, we work in close collaboration with community hospitals, general practitioners, family medicine clinics, nursing homes and other community partners to provide integrated care to the community.
With member institutions under one Academic Health System, NUHS creates synergies as a fully integrated cluster to provide seamless care, develop solutions for Singapore's healthcare challenges and nurture the next generation of healthcare professionals.
NUHS - SINGAPORE'S ACADEMIC HEALTH SYSTEM
As Singapore's academic health system, we are rooted in our triple mission of care, education and research. Our research generates new solutions to the health challenges we grapple with today, and our health schools build upon what we know, to train the next generation of healthcare professionals to surpass us. Here is a collection of videos and articles to show how we are creating tomorrow's health, today.
