National Centre For Infectious Diseases & Centre For Healthcare Innovation

The development originated as a combination of two projects: the redevelopment of the Communicable Disease Centre (the current NCID), and a training and innovation hub, Ng Teng Fong Centre for Healthcare Innovation (CHI). Situated at the heart of Health City Novena, NCID faces the existing Tan Tock Seng Hospital (TTSH) while the CHI training facility faces the adjacent condominiums.

The NCID building contains a screening centre, isolation, cohort and negative pressure wards, outpatient clinic, as well as a High Level Isolation Unit to safely contain and manage high consequence pathogens.

CHI, a 9-storey building that aims to transform our healthcare workforce to be future-ready. At 25,000 sqm, it is Singapore’s largest purpose-built healthcare innovation centre that features System Innovations, Living Labs, Expert Knowledge Networks and Tools to spur new ways to deliver care.

As the winner of the “BCA Green Mark Awards Platinum” presented by The Building and Construction Authority of Singapore, both NCID and CHI are certified as having met green building standards in shaping a more environmentally friendly and sustainable built environment.

Project Member Quotes

Good medical planning and architectural design are important cornerstones of building NCID and CHI. We want to design facilities that not only remain clinically efficient and effective all the time, but can also adapt to future outbreaks. We purpose-built the 330-bed NCID with expansion capacity to accommodate more beds in the event of a surge in patient load. The naturally ventilated cohort wards were also designed to be flexible for conversion into isolation rooms. These strategies proved useful in dealing with a pandemic like COVID-19
