Community and External Support

Beyond hospital care, many patients, caregivers, and community members benefit from access to trusted organisations, programmes, and networks that offer additional support, guidance, and opportunities to stay engaged.

This page brings together selected external and SingHealth‑related resources that may be helpful for patients, caregivers, volunteers, and members of the community. These organisations support areas such as community care, patient advocacy, volunteerism, health improvement, and recognition of patients and caregivers. Visitors are encouraged to explore these resources based on their needs and interests.
