    Singapore General Hospital Slashes Stroke Treatment Time to 82 Minutes

    Singapore General Hospital (SGH) has significantly improved its stroke treatment process by reducing the median time from patient arrival to treatment initiation from 130 to 82 minutes. This achievement is attributed to the consolidation of neurovascular services directly within the emergency department (ED), eliminating transfer delays. The hospital's new 12-story building, opened on October 30, 2026, integrates the ED and the National Neuroscience Institute (NNI) on a larger footprint, housing the hospital's first angiography room inside the ED. This allows the entire workflow from imaging to intervention to occur on a single floor. The expansion also includes increased triage rooms, intensive care cubicles, and resuscitation rooms. Health Minister Ong Ye Kung noted that the system handles over 300 patients daily, with about 15% requiring emergency response. Digital tools such as AI-assisted imaging analysis and telemedicine triage have also contributed to the efficiency gains.
