National University Hospital, University hospital in Queenstown, Singapore
The National University Hospital is a university hospital in Queenstown with separate clinical wings dedicated to different specialties. It houses specialized centers for cancer care, cardiology, and dental health alongside general medical services.
The facility began in 1972 as Kent Ridge Hospital and was formally reopened under its current name in 1986. Major renovations during the 1980s expanded its capacity and clinical services.
The hospital works closely with its medical school, where doctors and healthcare professionals are trained alongside patient care. The daily work blends education and treatment in one place.
The hospital is accessible by public transport and has parking for visitors arriving by car. Information about departments and services can be found at reception desks or on the hospital website.
The building was designed with shaded courtyards that allow natural cross-ventilation suited to Singapore's tropical climate. This design approach reduces reliance on air conditioning alone.
