Health City Novena is the integrated healthcare master plan development in Singapore where care and community both take centrestage. It aims to shape the future healthcare model of Singapore, anchor the Regional Health System to enhance the health of all in Central Singapore and ultimately empower people via a new mode of active and healthy living for everyone.
First conceptualized in 2010, this master plan has since been developed in consultation with stakeholders and the community.
An integrated and sustainable urban development, the Health City will incorporate many vibrant and outstanding features. These will extend beyond healthcare to encompass a complete and holistic eco-system that includes health services, research and education, commercial, leisure and public spaces – achieving the goal of building a place where healthy life is central.
There are four key elements to the master plan - Care, Continuous Learning & Innovation, Community and Connectivity.
Integration of
Care

Continuous Learning & Innovation

Integration through
Connectivity
The master plan is designed to segregate user movement and enable efficient clinical, operational and educational practices at Health City Novena.
The master plan has factored in efficient and safe movement across buildings for three key groups - inpatients, outpatients and for learning.
Like any other city, Health City Novena is made to move with the times and in step with its dynamic and mobile community. A highly connected network of public walkways, streets, boulevards and roads means moving into, through and within the development will be a breeze.
