Changi General Hospital (CGH) is one of the public hospitals within Singapore's SingHealth group, sitting alongside institutions like Singapore General Hospital as part of the country's public healthcare network. Based at 2 Simei Street 3 in Singapore's east, CGH covers a broad span of clinical care, from everyday specialties through to dedicated centres built around specific patient needs.
CGH's clinical specialties include Anaesthesiology, Breast Surgery, Cardiology, Colorectal Surgery and Dental Care, among others listed on its full specialties page. Supporting these are allied health and pharmacy services covering Acupuncture Services, Medical Social Services, Pharmacy, Radiography and Rehabilitative Services.
Beyond general specialties, the hospital operates several dedicated specialist centres: the Breast Centre, the Changi Aviation Medicine Centre, the Diabetes, Obesity, Metabolic & Endocrine Centre (DOME), the Singapore Sport and Exercise Medicine Centre @ CGH, and the SNEC Eye Clinic @ CGH for ophthalmology care. This mix reflects a hospital built to handle both broad general care and more specific patient populations, from athletes to aviation workers.
CGH's community health services extend care beyond the hospital campus itself, including the Community Psychogeriatric Programme (CPGP), the Neighbours for Active Living programme, the Eastern Community Health Centre, and Community Hearing Clinics. The hospital also maintains GP resources and a GP-Engage CME Online Asynchronous Learning (COAL) Programme, supporting the wider network of general practitioners in the community.
CGH's newsroom highlights several recent developments. In July 2026, the hospital announced it had become Singapore's first desflurane-free hospital, describing the milestone as part of a hospital-wide effort to embed sustainability practices into everyday healthcare delivery. Separately, CGH reported launching a landmark surgical trial exploring neurolymphatic surgery as a new treatment approach for people living with Alzheimer's disease and their families — the first such research undertaken by a public hospital in this area. CGH has also partnered with CAAS (the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore) on a four-day OneAviation Wellness Festival at Changi Airport and Changi Airfreight Centre, aimed at supporting the health and mental wellness of aviation workers.
The hospital also marked its 90th anniversary with a coffee table book titled 'Together We Flourish: 90 Years of Innovative Care,' and its site features recognitions labelled 'Best Hospital 2026,' 'Smart Hospital 2026' and 'Specialised Hospital 2026.'

Telemedicine is also available for patients wanting to register for teleconsultation services, alongside online appointment booking, medication collection options (including doorstep delivery or pre-ordering for pickup), and billing information covering Medisave and insurance.
An important notice on the hospital's site advises that from 20 May 2026, parts of the CGH Emergency Department will undergo improvement works, with some services around the Main Building relocated during this period. Visitors wanting to see a patient can register online in advance, and the hospital provides visitor information covering getting to and around the campus, as well as food and amenities available on site.
CGH also runs training for healthcare professionals, including courses at its Changi Simulation Institute — for example, a Critical Care Heart US Course (FUSIC® affiliated) priced at $400 for trainee doctors and allied health professionals, $650 for specialists, and $550 for Academy of Medicine members in good standing.
