Building healthcare infrastructure
MOHH is responsible for planning, developing, and delivering a wide array of healthcare facilities. This ranges from acute hospitals, community hospitals, specialty centres and polyclinics, to nursing homes, senior care centres, and active ageing centres. Against the backdrop of a rapidly ageing population and evolving healthcare needs, these projects are vital in ensuring that every Singaporean continues to have access to affordable and high-quality care.
As we continue building for future healthcare needs, we remain guided by our strong focus on collaboration, innovation, and sustainability so that we can deliver projects faster, better, and more cost-effectively.
Driving efficiency through standardisation and early contractor involvement
Healthcare Facility Design Standards Framework
The Healthcare Facility Design Standards (HFDS) is a comprehensive manual providing a framework for space planning, standardised design principles, and streamlined processes for hospital operators, consultants, and contractors involved in our public healthcare infrastructure projects. This framework allows for greater speed, efficiency, and consistency in the construction and maintenance of our public healthcare institutions.
The HFDS framework ensures that facilities are designed with flexibility and optimised layouts to maximise space efficiency, improve patient comfort, and support workflow-driven care delivery. While the framework gleans from past projects, it also allows hospitals to remain adaptable to future needs, including those arising from ageing demographics, medical manpower constraints, and emergent healthcare technologies.

MOHH Procurement Framework
Our MOHH Procurement Framework reduces the time required from conceptualisation to starting operations of a new facility.
This initiative allows contractors to be involved during the design development phases, to optimise considerations between design and buildability, and to identify potential challenges early.
Instilling the culture of safety
MOHH has established a robust safety culture, underpinned by the 3Ps approach – Proactive, Positive, and Preventive – to construction safety. Through regular peer audits, incident reporting systems, and safety recognitions, we work closely with our construction partners to ensure that all construction activities meet the highest safety standards.
Integrating green technologies into healthcare infrastructure
As Singapore works towards its sustainability goals, MOHH is also playing our part to integrate green technologies into public healthcare infrastructure, ensuring our healthcare system serves current needs whilst building a greener, more resilient future.
MOHH Green Frontiers Framework
The MOHH Green Frontiers Framework drives sustainable practices and invests in new technologies to create energy-efficient, eco-friendly facilities across Singapore's public healthcare institutions.
This framework embeds sustainability into healthcare infrastructure development, focusing on achieving high-performance, low-carbon facilities through strategic design, technology adoption, and BCA Green Mark standards. and incorporation of the Building and Construction Authority (BCA) Green Mark standards. The Green Frontiers Guidebook and Checklist have been developed to standardise sustainability integration across all new developments.
