Description
St. Luke’s Hospital in Singapore holds a significant place in the nation's healthcare system as the first hospital dedicated to the care of older persons. Established in 1993, the hospital was named after St. Luke, the patron saint of physicians, symbolizing its commitment to providing specialized healthcare for the elderly. With Singapore's aging population, the hospital recognized the need for a facility that focuses specifically on geriatric care, offering a range of services to address the complex medical, social, and psychological needs of older individuals.
St. Luke's Hospital provides comprehensive care that includes inpatient services, rehabilitation, and palliative care. It also offers outpatient services such as geriatric assessments and day rehabilitation programs. The hospital's approach is holistic, emphasizing not only medical treatment but also quality of life, focusing on enhancing independence and dignity for its elderly patients.
In addition to its clinical care, St. Luke’s is involved in research and education, striving to improve geriatric care practices and to train healthcare professionals in this important field. By pioneering a model of eldercare, St. Luke’s Hospital has been instrumental in setting standards for senior healthcare in Singapore, ensuring that older persons receive the specialized, compassionate care they deserve.
