 National University Hospital (NUH) started in 1985 as the first restructured hospital in Singapore. Today, it is a 928-bed tertiary acute-care hospital, and was the first hospital in Singapore to be accredited by the Joint Commission International in September 2004.
NUH's inpatient facilities include 26 wards, 19 operating theatres, 6 intensive care units, 22 clinical departments, 3 dental and 6 paramedical departments, 4 medical institutes as well as numerous specialist outpatient clinics and specialised service centres. It also provides comprehensive range of services where its strengths lie in Cardiac, Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Oncology, Paediatrics, Ophthalmology, Orthopaedic and Gastroenterology services. NUH also runs a national Liver Transplant Programme which began in 1990.
As the only university hospital in Singapore, most clinicians also teach at the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine at the National University of Singapore. Their dual roles mean that these clinicians are kept abreast of the developments in medical skills and technology, and participate in such developments through research from which new cures and treatments are then introduced to their patients.
