Home nursing after discharge from National University Hospital (NUH)
Coming home from NUH with a catheter, feeding tube, wound, or an injection schedule? An SNB-registered nurse can continue that care at home — often the same or next day — with the price agreed up front. Call +65 8057 6900 with the discharge date and what's needed.
homenurse.sgWhat to arrange before discharge day
- Confirm exactly what care continues at home (procedure, frequency, and any medications).
- Ask the ward for the discharge summary and any prescriptions.
- Line up the first home visit for the day of, or day after, discharge.
- Check what consumables you need to have at home (see the checklist below).
The AIC subsidy pathway, and how long it takes
Eligible Singapore Citizens and PRs can be referred for AIC-subsidised home nursing, usually arranged through the hospital's care team before discharge. Subsidies are means-tested, and there can be a wait before the first subsidised visit. See home nursing subsidies.
Private options if you can't wait
If care is needed immediately, private home nursing can usually start straight away. Our prices are published on the pricing page, consumables at cost, with no minimum-hours lock-in.
What the ward will and won't organise
Wards typically prepare the discharge summary and can make an AIC referral, but families are often left to arrange the actual day-to-day home visits themselves — which is where a private nurse fills the gap.
Typical costs
Private home-nursing visits in Singapore generally run S$80–250 depending on the procedure and whether consumables and transport are included. Our rates start from S$55 per visit, consumables at cost — see pricing.
