The National University Health System (NUHS) is an integrated Academic Health System and Regional Health System in Singapore that delivers value-driven, innovative and sustainable healthcare.

NUHS creates synergies as a fully integrated health system and provides seamless care to patients from prevention to home care. Together with their academic institutions, they develop solutions for Singapore’s healthcare challenges, and nurture the next generation of healthcare professionals.

Their scholars in health administration are groomed to take on leadership roles in NUHS. They look for leaders who are competent and well-rounded, and their scholars will be developed and exposed to diverse areas in the public healthcare sector such as operations management, education or resource planning, financial management and manpower planning.

As an Academic Health System, they provide their scholars with the unique opportunity to participate in their tripartite mission of clinical care, research and education, and to apply the synergies of this mission to benefit their patients and their community.

In this regard, their scholars will also be able to work with their health and social care partners in the public, private and people sectors to develop and implement programmes that contribute to a healthy and engaged population.
