The Institute of Mental Health (IMH) is a 2,000-bed acute
tertiary psychiatric hospital situated on a 25-hectare
campus at Buangkok Green Medical Park. Set amidst serene
surroundings, IMH offers a comprehensive range of psychiatric,
rehabilitative and counselling services for children, adolescents,
adults, and the elderly.
IMH’s tradition of care started in 1928. We were the first
mental hospital in Singapore, starting with some 1,000 patients.
Since then, many advances have been made in treatment, training,
and research. Our treatment integrates evidence-based therapies,
supported by the departments of clinical psychology, nursing,
occupational therapy, and medical social work, to provide holistic
care for our patients. IMH is equipped with modern facilities, with
50 wards for inpatients and seven Specialist Outpatient
Clinics.
IMH was the first mental health institution in Asia to receive
the Joint Commission International Accreditation in 2005, a highly
coveted international accreditation for healthcare
organisations.
Over the years, IMH has gained a reputation for quality
research. In 2008, the Ministry of Health,
Singapore, entrusted IMH with a S$25 million research
grant to implement translational and clinical research into the
causes of schizophrenia and related psychotic disorders.
IMH also plays a key role in training the next generation of
mental health professionals in Singapore. We train psychiatrists
and mental health professionals through the NHG-AHPL Residency
Programme for psychiatry and through collaborations with the local
tertiary institutions.
