Officially opened by then-Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong on 23 March 2019, the SKH Campus, which comprises Sengkang General Hospital and Sengkang Community Hospital, supports the healthcare needs of residents in northeast Singapore.

Before even laying the foundation for the hospitals, we had sought feedback from residents in the northeast on what they would like to see in a hospital. The meaningful feedback gathered helped us to design an integrated hospital that truly addresses the needs of the community.

To create a healing environment, our hospital design harmonises the various components of an integrated hospital – comprising a general hospital, a community hospital and specialised outpatient clinics – into a seamless and unified medical campus.
