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. A multi-disciplinary approach to medical care affords patients to ready access to a wide range of specialties and support services.
SGH accounts for about one third of total acute hospital beds in the public sector and about a quarter of acute beds nationwide. Annually about 70,000 patients are admitted to our wards and another 600,000 attended to at our Specialist Outpatient Clinics.
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. The SingHealth Group is positioned to serve the eastern sector of Singapore through a cluster of 3 hospitals, 5 specialty centres and 7 polyclinics.
Committed to uphold its slogan "A Tradition of Caring & Excellence", SGH continues to provide the best and yet affordable medical services to its patients. This social mission and humanitarian legacy has been the driving force behind the Hospital's efforts and achievements in Service, Teaching and Research, the "Three Pillars" of SGH.

The Specialist Clinics at the Singapore General Hospital provide outpatient services for patients requiring specialist care. Every year, more than 500,000 patients are seen at our clinics. These patients have access to over 500 doctors from 28 specialty areas. Our dedicated team of healthcare professionals is committed to give each patient the best care.
As SGH emphasizes a multi-disciplinary approach to tertiary care, our treatment programmes are organised around a particular illness and therapeutic regime. We have developed a number of specialty centres and services which offer our patients one-stop, patient-centred programmes for their specific medical conditions.
Consultations at the Specialist Centres and Clinics are strictly by appointments. Before visiting our Outpatient Clinics, it is preferable that you consult your general practitioner or primary health physician to obtain a referral, in order to determine if you require treatment by a specialist.
