The new SGH Emergency/National Neuroscience Institute (NNI) building is set to enhance care with critical services brought closer together—because every second counts in an emergency.

Before the building opens fully in 2025, patients with emergency needs should continue to seek attention at the SGH Emergency Department at Block 1.
