Tan Tock Seng Hospital

From 5 years to 50 years in service, we recognise the individuals in TTSH who serve our patients and grow with us through the years. Everyone’s journey in TTSH is different - but all their stories make us who we are today. Hear from some of our staff who were recognised for their long service earlier today on what it means to be the people behind the People’s Hospital. #FacesOfTTSH

While often referred to as a 'Disease of the Past', Tuberculosis (TB) is not uncommon in our population. TB though is preventable and definitely curable. From today, to better reflect the integrated national strategies for preventing and managing TB in Singapore, our Tuberculosis Control Unit (TBCU) and the Tuberculosis Contact Clinic (TBCC) - both major functions of the National Tuberculosis Programme – have been renamed to the National Tuberculosis Care Centre (NTBCC), and the National Tuberculosis Screening Centre (NTBSC). The NTBCC is the national referral centre for TB evaluation and treatment, and manages complicated TB cases while NTBSC screens close contacts of persons with TB and provides preventive therapy. The name change reflects our continued approach towards patient-centred care, providing patients and families all the support and care they need and will not affect the services we have been providing for decades. Through shared responsibility, let us all work together towards eliminating TB in Singapore. National Centre for Infectious Diseases (NCID)

At TTSH, we are always passionate about grooming the next generations of healthcare professionals. We are one of the pioneer teaching hospitals in Singapore and today, we are teaching students and healthcare professionals, not just within TTSH, but beyond the hospital as well! Meet some of our teaching colleagues with their students! A special thanks to National University of Singapore Department of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences and students for being a part of this video! Happy Teachers’ Day! #HiddenGems #FacesOfTTSH
