KWONG WAI SHIU HOSPITAL

Kwong Wai Shiu Hospital (KWSH) is a 113-year-old charitable healthcare organisation and is registered as an Institution of Public Character, committed to looking after the sick and needy. In the last century, it has continued the strong tradition of community service, having cared for many generations of Singaporeans, beginning its legacy in 1910 even before Singapore’s independence. It is now one of the most established providers in the ILTC (Intermediate and Long Term Care) sector. At present, KWSH operates two nursing homes, two rehabilitation centres, two traditional Chinese medicine centres, four community care centres, a community training institute and offers home care services. Many of its patients are from the lower-income group and their fees are heavily subsidised. To better serve the rapidly ageing population, KWSH had undergone a major redevelopment to house the largest single-site nursing home in Singapore and also transform itself into an integrated community healthcare hub, providing healthcare services to its residents and the community. With the completion of its second nursing home in 2022, KWSH is now one of the largest nursing home operators with close to 1,200 beds as well as expansion in its other services.
