Several major healthcare institutions in Singapore are contending with significant system disruptions that have affected their digital operations. National University Hospital (NUH) and Singapore General Hospital (SGH), both flagship facilities under the National Healthcare Group, are among the affected institutions experiencing the outages.
The system failures have prompted the affected hospitals to activate backup protocols to maintain continuity of patient care and essential services. Healthcare staff across the impacted institutions have been working to manage operations through alternative procedures during the disruptions.
Patients scheduled for appointments and procedures at the affected institutions may experience delays or require rescheduling. The hospitals have advised members of the public to contact their respective facilities directly for updates regarding appointments and services.
The National Healthcare Group has not yet disclosed the underlying cause of the system failures or provided a timeline for full restoration of services. Further updates are expected as the situation develops.
