St. Andrew’s Community Hospital

What St. Andrew’s Community Hospital does

St. Andrew's Community Hospital (SACH) is a non-profit community hospital in Singapore, established in 1992 as the country's first community hospital and operating as a service of St. Andrew's Mission Hospital (incorporated under Act of Parliament, Chapter 376, in 1934). SACH delivers intermediate medical care focused on rehabilitation, sub-acute care, dementia care, palliative care, and transitional care for adults and the elderly discharged from acute hospitals. Outpatient services include the SAMH Clinic, Day Rehabilitation Centre, Home Care Services, the St. Andrew's Migrant Worker Medical Centre (a Primary Care Plan anchor operator under the Ministry of Manpower), eight St. Andrew's Senior Care centres, and Active Ageing Centres across eastern Singapore (Bedok North/South, Dover, Henderson, JOY Connect, Queenstown, Tampines Central/North). SACH operates from two facilities: the original Simei campus at 8 Simei Street 3 and a new Bedok South facility opened in November 2025, with a workforce of 1,001-5,000 staff.

SACH generates revenue through a hybrid model that combines government healthcare subsidies and Medishield Life coverage for inpatient care (subsidized bed charges from SGD 52/day), unit-priced outpatient services (consultations from SGD 31.89, day rehabilitation from SGD 19-101 per session, home care from SGD 16-201 per visit), Primary Care Plan contracts with employers of migrant workers, and philanthropy enabled by its Institution of Public Character status (donations eligible for 2.5x tax deduction). Notable proprietary service components include a Physiotherapy Gymnasium with ADL/Back-to-Home Training Flat and therapeutic Garden, and an innovative rehabilitation programme using a decommissioned MRT train carriage, public bus and taxi to retrain patients in daily transport skills.

The organization serves multiple customer segments: subsidized elderly rehabilitation patients, dementia patients receiving person-centered care, palliative care patients (including non-cancer diagnoses via the Violet Programme partnership with Changi General Hospital), migrant workers in dormitories and Construction/Marine Shipyard/Process sectors, and community seniors requiring day care, maintenance rehabilitation, or active ageing programmes. Major institutional relationships include the Agency for Integrated Care (referral coordination), the Ministry of Manpower (PCP anchor operator since April 2022), and a Ministry of Education partnership to establish a new special education (Sped) school by the early 2030s. SACH received the 2025 Singapore Health Quality Service Awards Best Team Award for its "I Am A Caregiver" project.
