   Relentless Pursuit of Excellence
 


Our Pursuit is Relentless

Walk into any hospital room or corridor. You will see faces, lots of them.

Faces of patients, their relatives and friends – faces of hope, faces of rejoicing at news of recovery, faces of cheer and encouragement, caring faces, even faces of fear and uncertainty for a loved one.

In an instant, a face of sadness can turn to joy at good news of a recovery; a face of fear can turn to peace at a caring touch or a word of encouragement.

For these faces, our staff live and work daily. For them, we pursue excellence like never before. Our ability to harness our skills, practices, technology, and systems into patient-centric care gives strength and hope to these faces.

Our pursuit is relentless. For we deal with people who come to us daily with hope in their hearts. It is our duty, our calling, to try and make those hopes a reality.

And add years of healthy life to our patients.

   Quality & Service Excellence
 
Quality & Service Excellence

The quest for quality and service excellence at NHG is relentless. We understand that being ill, and having to leave the comfort of home for medical treatment is a doubly daunting experience. With our experience in serving patients, we know how to make them feel welcomed and at home.

Quality standards, benchmarked against the world’s best, are a top priority in NHG. Quality, an abiding tenet, defines and distinguishes who we are at home and abroad. In building a culture of safety in our hospitals and clinics, we make quality everybody’s business – from the Board members right down to the hospital attendants. Strong leadership and clear lines of responsibility help to transform our culture, work methods and healthcare delivery systems.

Staff at all levels – from the receptionists to the nurses and doctors – are well schooled in our CARE standards – which incorporate Confidence, Attentiveness, Respect and Empathy. The aim of inculcating the CARE standards in all staff in the different institutions is to ensure that patients enjoy the same and consistent level of service anywhere in NHG.

   Accolade from Patient
  Accolade from Patient

On behalf of my family, I would like to convey my utmost gratitude to you for taking care of my wife during her stay in Alexandra Hospital.

 

You have shown tremendous patience and attention to my wife which we felt, was crucial to her recovery. At one stage, we were extremely worried when my wife seemed to have given up in her fight against her illness. She is so much better now and we can never thank you enough. – Mr Tan C. T.
