Neurosurgery

​We provide neurosurgical services for the management of brain, nerve and spine conditions.

 

​​

About Us​​


Our team of neurosurgeons and advance practice nurses from the National Neuroscience Institute (NNI) and Woodlands Health (WH) provides round-the-clock neurosurgical services.

This is essential for surgical emergencies such as haemorrhagic stroke and traumatic head or spine injuries that need specialist care as soon as possible to reduce the risk of long-term disability and death. In addition, the neurosurgery team manages other brain and spine conditions for adults living and working in the North of Singapore.
