SINGAPORE – Patients will be able to access their medical information and services across the three public healthcare clusters – NHG Health, National University Health System (NUHS) and SingHealth – using just the HealthHub app from November.
Previously, such services were available to patients through each cluster’s dedicated app, meaning those who sought medical attention at institutions belonging to different clusters and used their apps were required to keep track of their medical records on multiple apps.
NHG Health operates hospitals including Tan Tock Seng Hospital, Khoo Teck Puat Hospital, Woodlands Hospital and Yishun Community hospital.
NUHS operates National University Hospital, Alexandra Hospital, Ng Teng Fong General Hospital and Jurong Community Hospital.
SingHealth operates Singapore General Hospital, Changi General Hospital, Sengkang General Hospital and KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital.
To simplify and streamline matters, national healthtech agency Synapxe said in July that all public healthcare apps, including HealthHub app, NHG Health app, NUHS app, and SingHealth Health Buddy app, will be unified under an enhanced HealthHub app.
According to Synapxe, the process will be completed by November, and patients using the cluster apps will have until February 2027 to transit to HealthHub.
