Our People

In SIT HSS, we share an unwavering aspiration to make a difference in healthcare and our community, and to inspire the future generations of healthcare professionals.

SIT celebrates over 7 years of partnership with TTSH and CHI with a video about our journey.

We begin a fresh chapter in our story with a new MOU at the cluster level with NHG, expanding our scope to include the CHI Sustainability Academy (CHI SA). Here, SIT co-develops courses and provides coaching on topics such as energy efficiency and sustainable building practices. Together we aim to create a greener and more innovative healthcare system. In our new phase, our Health and Social Sciences Cluster will also partner with NHG on postgraduate programmes and applied research.
