The National Healthcare Group (NHG) is a prominent public healthcare provider in Singapore, established in 2000. It is one of the three integrated healthcare clusters in Singapore, alongside SingHealth and National University Health System. NHG is responsible for providing a comprehensive range of healthcare services, including primary care, acute care, and tertiary care, to the population of Singapore.
The National Healthcare Group was formed as part of the Singapore government's initiative to restructure the public healthcare system into regional health systems. This restructuring aimed to improve the efficiency and quality of healthcare services by integrating care across different levels and settings.
NHG is actively involved in medical education and research. It collaborates with various educational institutions, such as the Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine and the NUS Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, to train future healthcare professionals. NHG also conducts research in various fields of medicine to improve patient care and outcomes.
NHG emphasizes the importance of integrated care, which involves coordinating healthcare services across different providers and settings to ensure seamless and patient-centered care. This approach aims to improve the overall health of the population by focusing on preventive care and chronic disease management.
