National Heart Centre

National Heart Centre

The National Heart Centre Singapore (NHCS) is a specialist medical centre in Singapore for cardiac problems as well as a regional referral centre for cardiovascular diseases. Established in 1994 as the Singapore Heart Centre and located at 17, Third Hospital Avenue in the Singapore General Hospital, it was renamed in 1998. The heart centre took over the hospital's cardiac services and set up a cardiology laboratory in 1995.

With over 9,000 inpatient admissions every year, the 186-bed specialty centre for cardiovascular disease in Singapore offers a comprehensive suite of treatments from preventive to rehabilitative cardiac services.

The centre is the first heart hospital in Asia to be accredited with the Joint International Commission, a prestigious accreditation for hospitals around the world. This continual pursuit of excellence is evident from the institution’s unflagging commitment to research, teaching and training.
