National University Cancer Institute, Singapore
About Hospital
The National University Cancer Institute (NCIS) is a national specialty centre that is part of the National University Health System in Singapore (NUHS). It is Singapore’s first public cancer centre that treats all paediatric and adult cancers in the same location.
The National University Cancer Institute (NCIS) offers a wide range of cancer services, from early detection and prevention to recovery and long-term care. Doctors, physicians, nurses, medical imaging practitioners, pharmacists, and rehabilitative therapists are among the professionals who bring together.
Sound medical expertise and advanced technologies are mixed with the human touch of expert surgeons, nurses, and other healthcare practitioners in creative approaches to battle cancer together, with the patient at the centre of all our programmes.
The National University Cancer Institute (NCIS) also work together with scientists to promote cancer science by turning experimental findings into applied studies for clinical trials and, finally, real therapies.
The National University Cancer Institute (NCIS) believe in educating and nurturing the next generation of healthcare practitioners in this sector, in addition to enhancing the level of treatment for cancer patients. Many of our doctors double as surgeons as well as physicians when lecturing at the National University of Singapore’s Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine (NUS). This has enabled them to stay on top of medical advances while still pushing the limits of science to help others.
The NCIS also spans three floors of the NUH Medical Centre, a 20-story landmark complex that provides one-stop holistic and systematic diagnosis, administration, and treatment for both adult and paediatric oncology patients.
The NCIS, which is located at the Medical Centre alongside other outpatient medical specialisations, draws together the resources of several health teams to offer multi-disciplinary cancer services through a simple and open one-stop forum that allows for effective appointments and treatment processes to be carried out under one roof.
