NHG Population Health
As the Regional Health Manager for Central and North Singapore, we are transforming care for 1.5 million residents. Together with our health and social care partners, we are shifting from reactive, disease-focused treatment to preventive and person-centred care in the community.
Adding Years of Healthy Life
At NHG Population Health, we are committed toward improving the health and wellbeing of 1.5 million residents in Central and North Singapore. Our work in transforming primary and aged care system continues to move beyond hospital walls, into neighbourhoods, schools and workplaces. Through our three Missions – Population Health, Community Care and Primary Care – we join up health and social care by working closely with hospitals, specialty centres, and community partners including general practitioners and community care providers. As a steward of health, we strive to support residents across different life stages through integrated and person-centred care, and community-based programmes.
Caring for Residents in Central and North Singapore
As the designated Regional Health Manager for Central and North Singapore, we play a key role in managing healthcare for 1.5 million residents in the region. Together with our health and social care partners, we are shifting from reactive, disease-focused treatment to preventive and person-centred care in the community.
To date, we have established 105 Communities of Care (CoC) and embedded our Community Health Teams to provide needs-based and placed-based care. In a mature thriving CoC, residents’ care, and their health and social needs are more anchored in the community, rather than in hospitals, institutions and professional services. This is the outcome that we want for all our CoCs – to enable our residents to age-in-place while receiving the care and support that they need.
