National Healthcare Group to be known as NHG Health from July 1
SINGAPORE - The National Healthcare Group will change its name to NHG Health from July 1, in a move that the healthcare provider said would better reflect its commitment to the health and well-being of Singaporeans.
The group, established in 2000, said on June 23 that the move represents a 'more integrated, patient-centred and population-focused approach to healthcare delivery'.
It added that its new name also serves to better reflect its expanded mission as the regional health manager for residents in central and north Singapore.
This new identity will be adopted across all NHG Health institutions, including Tan Tock Seng Hospital, Khoo Teck Puat Hospital, Woodlands Health, Yishun Community Hospital, NHG Polyclinics, the Institute of Mental Health, the National Skin Centre and the National Centre for Infectious Diseases.
The group's logo will also be updated to reflect the change .

MOH engaging Great Eastern to better understand suspension of Mount Elizabeth pre-authorisation
GE's rationale was that high costs from the two named hospitals were the reason for this decision. PHOTO: ST FILE SINGAPORE – The Ministry of Health (MOH) is engaging insurance group Great Eastern (GE) to better understand the impact of its decision to suspend pre-authorisation certificates for the Mount Elizabeth hospitals. In its reply to queries from the media, MOH said Integrated Shield Plans (IPs) insurers 'would have to ensure that policyholders continue to be able to access the full benefits of their policies in accordance with the terms and conditions for claims, as stated in their policy contracts'. GE, in a message to its panel doctors earlier this week, said it has temporarily stopped issuing pre-authorisation certificates from June 17 for policyholders admitted to Mount Elizabeth and Mount Elizabeth Novena hospitals. Its rationale was that high costs from the two named hospitals, compared with other private hospitals, were the reason for this decision. Pre-authorisation confirms that the insurer has approved the medical treatment, including the costs, before the treatment begins. GE told its panel doctors the decision was not a reflection of their clinical quality, but the insurer was 'prioritising facilities that deliver the same high-quality care with greater cost transparency and cost-effectiveness'. The decision took both the hospitals and GE policyholders by surprise. In its e-mail to the media, MOH said the ability to afford major medical expenses is understandably a concern for Singaporeans and that all Singaporeans are covered by MediShield Life, which is sized to provide coverage for large subsidised bills. 'Singaporeans may opt to purchase IPs or additional coverage. As these are commercial products, while MOH regulates the key parameters of IPs for financial sustainability, individual insurers' changes to administrative processes such as pre-authorisation framework and partnerships with private providers are based on their commercial and actuarial considerations.'
