Alexandra Hospital (AH) was taken over by National University Health System (NUHS) from 1 June
2018. The 326-bedder Alexandra Hospital (starting with 176 beds first) provides seamless, one-stop
comprehensive care by one care team to some 100,000 residents in the Queenstown precinct (the
oldest housing estate) and Southwest and the rest of Singapore.
Alexandra Hospital is the first Integrated General Hospital in Singapore providing holistic and seamless
care from acute, sub-acute to rehabilitative settings, reducing the need for a patient to transfer to another
healthcare institution. Our clinical model is team-led and programme-based. This means that every
patient who comes to Alexandra Hospital will be placed under at least one of our five core clinical
programmes, and be taken care by a single doctor and the same care team, under one of these
programmes.
Our five clinical programmes are: • Be Better (Preventive Care) • Get Better (Acute Care) • Live Better (Chronic Care) • Age Better (Healthy Ageing) • Cope Better (Palliative
Care) (coming soon)
Through [email protected], the hospital's Care Managers assist patients and families with the help of
community partners so that medical and social help can be planned and provided to those who need it
and continuously by primary care providers, thereby empowering them to stay healthy at home and in
the community.
AH will also be the site for staging innovative health and care as well as person-centric solutions with a
view to enabling best practices to be scoped, shared and scaled. It will be technology-enabled. Together
with the community, AH will bring about seamless integrated care beyond discharge, and enable
continuity of care anchored in the safety and comfort of the home and community.
