Our Approach to Patient Care
Johns Hopkins Singapore International Medical Centre recognizes the fact that each patient has unique and individual needs. All members of the healthcare team work together to meet the patient’s physical, psychological and emotional needs. This collaborative approach to cancer care aims to provide the patient and his/her family with the highest level of medical care possible and to do it in an environment of kindness and compassion.

Family Support
Johns Hopkins Singapore International Medical Centre embraces an approach to treatment that involves the family. The patient’s family members are welcome to sit in on consultations and to help the patient make treatment decisions. They are allowed to stay overnight if the patient is admitted.
Facilities

Upon admission, a primary nurse will be assigned to the patient to ensure coordination with the rest of the healthcare team and the best possible care for the patient.
