The National University Hospital (NUH) is Singapore’s first university hospital. While the hospital at Kent Ridge first received its patients on 24 June 1985, our legacy started from 1905, the date of the founding of what is today the NUS Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine. NUH is the principal teaching hospital of the medical school. 
 
Our unique identity as a university hospital is a key attraction for healthcare professionals who aspire to do more than practise tertiary medical care. We offer an environment where research and teaching are an integral part of medicine, and continue to shape medicine and transform care for the community we care for. 
 
We are an academic medical centre with over 1,200-beds, serving more than one million patients a year with over 50 medical, surgical and dental specialities. NUH is the only public and not-for-profit hospital in Singapore to provide trusted care for adults, women and children under one roof, including the only paediatric kidney and liver transplant programme in the country.  
 
The NUH is a key member of the National University Health System (NUHS), one of three public healthcare clusters in Singapore.
