The NUH Women's Centre aims to be a centre of excellence in obstetrics & gynaecology in Southeast Asia. Our goal is to provide the finest clinical service to women and men seeking expertise in obstetric, gynaecologic and sexual health matters. We aim to lead in the frontiers of translational research by investing in relevant basic science and extending its impact into everyday clinical experiences.
As a leading tertiary hospital, we are committed to training undergraduates and postgraduates to be honourable clinician-scientists of impeccable stature - the future physicians that the country and the global community can take pride in.
We are a part of the National University Centre for Women and Children (NUWoC), a national university specialist centre that aims to empower women, children and their families to lead healthier lives.
To Serve, to Innovate and to Inspire.
Meeting the needs of our patients who trust us.
To be the premier tertiary referral centre in the region, built upon the dedication and passion of our people, our evidence-based research-focus patient care and our science.
We have five Clinical Divisions:
We are honoured to be associated with many distinguished clinicians and scientists in the past and the present. Some have dedicated many of their most fruitful years to our department, contributing more than their fair share to its recognition.
Here we pay tribute to some of these honourable individuals who have left an indelible mark and also influenced many practising obstetricians and gynaecologists far and wide.
The Department of Obstetrics & Gynaecology was established in 1922.
Professor J S English served as the first Head of Department. During the initial years, the department's main focus was on the training of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists for the local institutional practice. Over the years, numerous outstanding clinicians have been trained in the Department, excelling in the membership examination of the Royal College of Obstetricians & Gynaecologists (United Kingdom). They have continued to serve in the Department or pursued exceptional careers locally or overseas.
In 1985, the University Department of O&G moved to the present site at the National University Hospital, marking a significant shift from Kandang Kerbau (KK) Maternity Hospital and its separation from the other two KK Units.
In the preceding 20 years, the Department has evolved into an internationally recognised centre for research and teaching. Under the leadership of Prof SS Ratnam, the department garnered global acclaim for its work on infertility and reproductive medicine. When Prof S Arulkumaran assumed leadership, the Department continued to be a focal point for research on intrapartum management.
Rather than resting on its laurels, the Department, even before the national emphasis on bioscience research, firmly established itself in molecular and stem-cell research. It remains committed to providing leadership in the latest biotechnology, seeking better clinical strategies for reproductive and female health.
We deliver comprehensive, multidisciplinary care for women during pregnancy. We specialise in high-risk obstetrics, where we care for women with complications in pregnancy. Women with uncomplicated pregnancies are equally welcome and supported by our team.
We offer a comprehensive range of obstetrical services and prenatal fetal care facilities — all under one roof. Most of our patients experience a normal, healthy pregnancy and birth. However, intensive care, neonatal care, cardiology, cardio-thoracic surgery and paediatric surgery are available in the hospital should the need arise.

Our team is dedicated to improving the quality of life for women dealing with urinary and faecal incontinence; bladder, bowel and sexual dysfunction; voiding difficulties; pelvic pain; pelvic organ prolapse; and pelvic floor disorders.
These conditions can affect women at various life stages, with urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse becoming more common after pregnancy, natural childbirth, menopause and with advanced age.
The female pelvis, including the pelvic floor, plays a crucial role in controlling urination, defaecation, sexual, and reproductive functions. Disorders in this area can affect physical, psychological and emotional health and well-being.
Our approach involves a holistic combination of counselling, specialised investigations, and a range of conservative, medical and surgical treatments. Surgical options include vaginal, pelvic organ, pelvic floor and incontinence operations, including the minimally invasive tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) and TVT-obturator (TVT-O).
Established in 2010, CREST (Centre for Reproductive Education & Specialist Training) offers educational trainings focused on Assisted Reproductive Techniques (ART).
Located within the National University Hospital (NUH) in Singapore, CREST was founded by Professor P. C. Wong, Emeritus Consultant from the Division of Reproductive Endocrinology & Infertility, Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology. The centre was made possible through a donation from Merck Serono and Learning Initiatives for Fertility Experts (LIFE).
