NYT article

Here is an article about legal steps taken to combat disease in Singapore over the years. It's a New York Times article from 2003, and has information that I think would be quite relevant here. TastyCakes (talk) 20:33, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

"Singapore generally has an efficient and widespread system of health care." From the first paragraph - Isnt this pure opinion not fact? Chrisp7 (talk) 12:27, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

Singapore government healthcare expenditure is actually lower at 1.4% of GDP. Singapore does have one of the best health care systems in the world. How do you think Bloomberg ranked it number 2 in efficiency? Its life expectancy is among the highest but total health expenditure is among the lowest. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.255.2.153 (talk) 15:10, 9 February 2014 (UTC)

Merger proposal

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.
The result of this discussion was merge relevant pages. Relevant content will be spread across the three healthcare cluster pages as well as the three flagship hospitals in Singapore (SGH, TTSH, NUH). Officer781 (talk) 06:42, 16 May 2020 (UTC)

I understand that this page itself is not involved in the merger, but I wanted to discuss all the mergers in one place. Please refer to the discussion below and we can continue from there.--Officer781 (talk) 12:31, 23 August 2019 (UTC)


(Copied from Wikipedia talk: SGpedians' notice board)
@Robertsky, Xaiver0510, 1.02 editor, and Madrenergic: The administrator CASSIOPEIA says that sources with a passing reference to the subject are not enough, which includes the links proposed. I'm not sure how to get it to graduate AfC, which I feel should be because we already have articles for all the other national specialty centres in Singapore. It is not very fair for this one not to have its own entry.

National specialty centre Healthcare cluster
National Cancer Centre Singapore SingHealth
National Dental Centre Singapore SingHealth
National Heart Centre Singapore SingHealth
National Neuroscience Institute SingHealth
National Skin Centre National Healthcare Group
National University Cancer Institute, Singapore National University Health System
National University Centre for Oral Health, Singapore National University Health System
National University Heart Centre, Singapore National University Health System
Singapore National Eye Centre SingHealth

As a result me and CASSIOPEIA have proposed merging all of these articles under their respective healthcare cluster articles, as most of these articles do not warrant their own subpages (lack of notability) and also to treat all National Specialty Centres consistently on Wikipedia. What do you guys think?--Officer781 (talk) 04:50, 23 August 2019 (UTC)

was going through several of these pages earlier, and I wanted to suggest the same. Most of these pages were created circa 2005 without much updates. Their notability is a suspect. I don't mind them being merged. Point me to the right location to add my comments if there is a discussion somewhere else. robertsky (talk) 05:52, 23 August 2019 (UTC)
CASSIOPEIA is not going to be drawn into a discussion about content so if a merged article is better, go ahead and do it! Since attention has been drawn to it, there is a likely chance that they might be nominated for AFD, especially some does not not have references. A merge will get some content saved. --Xaiver0510 (talk) 06:21, 23 August 2019 (UTC)
Yes. merge is a good idea, either back to the page that you started from or create an entirely new page for it. 1.02 editor (T/C) 11:46, 23 August 2019 (UTC)
I will say keep the draft and improve on it. If you ask me, this article deserves to be created. I don't mind having the articles merged.TheGreatSG'rean (talk) 12:56, 23 August 2019 (UTC)
