​SingHealth – SIT MOU


This is a five-year Memorandum Of Understanding (MOU) between SingHealth and the Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT) which will drive new innovation initiatives for healthcare and advance practice-oriented healthcare education for students. This is part of the organisations’ efforts to focus on equipping the current and future healthcare workforce with the latest skills and knowledge, and empower them in leveraging innovation and technology to address national healthcare challenges and deliver value-based care for Singapore’s ageing population.

The MOU will include several new areas of collaboration focused on practice-oriented education and innovation. Firstly, it will explore the co- development of new graduate diploma and certificate courses for nurses, allied health professionals; and healthcare system engineers that have an emphasis on design thinking, automation and artificial intelligence. These skills can be applied in a clinical context to benefit patient care.


Next, apart from training healthcare professionals, the partnership will drive interdisciplinary innovation
programmes to support crucial areas of healthcare, such as augmenting nursing manpower and enhancing population health. These programmes will employ holistic healthcare systems engineering approaches including the integrated use of robotics, workflow automation, green and lean infrastructure design, among others, to streamline processes, optimise

resources and alleviate workload for a smoother care delivery experience and expand capabilities in preventive health initiatives.
