Raffles Medical Group (RMG)

Raffles Medical Group (RMG) is Singapore's largest private integrated healthcare organisation, founded in 1976 with two clinics in central Singapore. Over nearly five decades, RMG has grown into a comprehensive healthcare group serving more than one million patients annually and maintaining relationships with over 5,500 corporate clients including local and multinational corporations and government agencies.

The group's flagship facility, Raffles Hospital, is a 380-bed JCI-accredited tertiary private hospital located at 585 North Bridge Road in Singapore's central business district. The hospital houses 500+ medical specialists across 35 clinical disciplines, operates 16 specialist centres, and delivers care to patients from over 100 countries — with more than one-third of patients being international visitors.

Beyond Raffles Hospital, RMG operates a network of 65 multi-disciplinary family medicine clinics across Singapore (under the Raffles Medical brand), plus clinics in Hong Kong, Vietnam, China, and Japan. The group also manages the airport clinic at Singapore's Changi International Airport, providing healthcare services to travellers.

RMG follows the Institutional Group Practice Model — a mode adopted by prestigious US institutions such as the Mayo Clinic — in which specialists collaborate as an integrated team to deliver peer-reviewed, medically audited care. This model, combined with JCI accreditation, underpins the group's reputation as a premium destination for both local and international patients seeking world-class private healthcare in Singapore.
