🔎 Key Points and Caveats
- In Singapore, there are not that many separate “MBBS colleges/hospitals” — rather, medical education is provided by a few medical-schools (under universities), and students do clinical training / internships at affiliated large hospitals (teaching hospitals) like SGH, NUH, TTSH, etc.
- The hospitals above represent a mixture of general acute-care public hospitals, specialty hospitals (e.g. women & children), and private hospitals. This gives flexibility whether you need routine care, specialty care, emergency, or private-sector services.
- If by “MBBS hospital” you meant “hospital where MBBS students get training / hospitals affiliated with medical schools,” the top ones are SGH, NUH and TTSH — because these are designated as “university / teaching hospitals.”
- But if you simply meant “hospitals with high-quality services / major hospitals,” the list can — and often does — include other public hospitals (like CGH, KKH, KTPH, etc.) and private ones (like Gleneagles).
