Sengkang General Hospital (abbreviation: SKH) is one of Singapore's public hospitals. It has 1000 beds, and opened its doors on 18 August 2018. It serves mainly the population of northeast Singapore, in particular Sengkang, Punggol, Hougang and Pasir Ris. The hospital is managed by Sengkang Health.[1]
Offering general hospital services with community-based care, the hospitals are part of Singapore's master plan in providing quality and accessible healthcare to all Singaporeans. The Sengkang General Hospital also partners with primary care physicians, polyclinics and intermediate and long-term care providers to offer more community-based care for the residents of northeast Singapore.
