It has over 50 wards and 2010 beds for inpatients and seven specialist clinics for outpatients. Apart from its hospital-based services, IMH runs satellite clinics at different locations in Singapore and executes community mental healthcare programmes.  Daniel Fung  is the current CEO of IMH. \n The earliest psychiatric facility in Singapore was a 30-bed building at the corner of Bras Basah Road and Bencoolen Street in 1841. It was then known as the  Insane Hospital . It was renamed the Lunatic Asylum in 1861 and moved to a site near the old  Kandang Kerbau Maternity Hospital . In 1887, the hospital relocated to the New Lunatic Asylum, with a capacity for 300 patients, built at College Road. In 1928, a 24-ward Mental Hospital was built along Yio Chu Kang Road. The New Lunatic Asylum and another psychiatric ward at Pasir Panjang were closed down and 1,030 patients were transferred to the  Mental Hospital . [ 1 ] Spread out over 80 hectares of land, the Mental Hospital was then the largest medical facility in Singapore providing custodial care for the mentally ill, with a capacity for 1,400 patients. In the 1920s, caring for the mentally ill was mainly custodial in nature. Patients were segregated from the community and were cared for by a handful of expatriate nurses with the help of health attendants who were not trained in nursing. [ 2 ] After Singapore  surrendered  to the Japanese in 1942, about 700–800 seriously wounded civilian casualties were transferred from the General Hospital to the Mental Hospital, which was transformed into the Japanese Civilian and Military Hospital. The Japanese transferred about 500 'quieter' mental patients to St John's Island, where many starved to death. The remaining 1,000 were locked up and neglected, of which about 600 were transferred in 1944 to the  Central Mental Hospital ,  Tanjung Rambutan , in  Perak , Malaysia. Of these 600, after the war, only 329 returned.\n British and Japanese patients, accompanied by nurses, take exercise in the grounds of 81 Mobile Field Hospital. For a brief period from 1945 to 1947, the British Royal Air Force from the nearby Seletar Airfield requisitioned the hospital for use to treat the sick and wounded of Allied servicemen and  Japanese POWs  after the end of World War II. The female section was converted into the RAF Hospital while the male section became the Japanese Prisoners of War Hospital. The hospital was known as the 81 Mobile Field Hospital until its return to civilian usage in 1947. The hospital was the first Royal Air Force hospital established after the Japanese surrender.\n In 1946, the Mental Hospital was returned to its original function, housing some 440 mental patients. In 1951, to reduce some of the stigma associated with mental illness, the hospital was renamed  Woodbridge Hospital . This name was derived from the local Chinese name for the hospital area—'Pang Kio' ('Wooden Bridge') — as there was a wooden bridge in the hospital vicinity in Yio Chu Kang.\n By 1958, Woodbridge Hospital had accommodation for 2,000 patients. The Psychiatric School of Nursing was set up in 1954. In 1955, a social work department was formed as well as an improved occupational therapy service. Psychological services were started in 1956 and V.W. Wilson, the first clinically trained psychologist in Singapore, was contracted from the United Kingdom by the Colonial Medical Service to incorporate a psychological service within the mental health programme.\n A Child Guidance Clinic was opened in 1970. This grew to become the Child Psychiatric Clinic, which also provided family therapy. [ 2 ]  A Community Psychiatric Nursing programme was set up in 1988 and psychiatric nurses conducted home visits to provide care, support and follow-up for patients within the community.\n Up to 1981, psychiatry trainees were sent to the UK to train for the  MRCPsych  qualification. After 1983, Woodbridge, began to train its own psychiatrists in collaboration with the  NUS medical school . The first locally trained Master of Medicine trainee in Psychiatry graduated in 1985.\n In 1984, the Ministry of Health mooted the idea of a new psychiatric hospital to evolve from a largely custodial care model to one of community care for the benefit of the people. The prevention, early treatment and rehabilitation of clients with mental conditions would actively operate within the community as opposed to late treatment within an institution that isolates them from everyday life, making reintegration into the community difficult.\n Plans were put in place for a very different hospital that would change mental healthcare in Singapore with further emphasis on training and new initiatives in mental health promotion and clinical research. [ 3 ] Woodbridge moved to its present 25-hectare premises in Hougang in 1993. With the move, it was reorganised and renamed the  Institute of Mental Health  Hospital to reflect its added commitment to research and training.\n IMH became the first mental health institution in Asia to receive Joint Commission International Accreditation in 2005, an international accreditation of healthcare organisations. Besides providing clinical services, IMH coordinates and oversees education of clinicians, nurses and allied health professionals in psychiatry and conducts research related to mental health.\n In 2006, the Institute of Mental Health compound was marked as Singapore's 83rd historic site by the National Heritage Board due to its history as Singapore's first mental institution. [ 4 ] It also plays a key role in developing capability in community agencies, such as family service centres, to enable staff to support persons with mental health problems in the community.\n Community-Based Services [ edit ] In 2007, the National Mental Health Blueprint was established by the Ministry of Health (MOH). With a reinvestment fund of $88 million over 5 years, its objective was to develop national capability in mental health services.  IMH initiated a number of community-based programmes as part of the Blueprint, targeted at the three main population segments—children, adults and the elderly.\n Response, Early intervention and Assessment in Community mental Health (REACH). REACH is a community-based mental health service which works  with schools, community agencies and family doctors to help students with mental disorders. Community Health Assessment Team (CHAT). CHAT is a national youth mental health programme that enables youths to seek help for emotional and mental health issues. Its aims are to raise awareness of youth mental health and provide a free, confidential assessment service. CHAT also conducts school programmes. Community Mental Health Team (CMHT). The CMHT comprises doctors, community psychiatric nurses, and allied health specialists and provides community-based treatment and psycho-social rehabilitation of our patients, integrating them into the community whilst in recovery. Aged Psychiatry Community Assessment Treatment Service (APCATS). APCATS is a community-based psychogeriatric clinical service which provides assessment and treatment for homebound or frail elderly patients with mental disorders. APCATS comprises geriatric psychiatrists, medical officers, psychologists, geriatric psychiatric nurses, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, and medical social workers. The team also makes home visits to patients. The key focus areas of research at IMH are mental health policy research and translational clinical research.\n Key research spearheaded by IMH include:\n Psychiatric Epidemiology : Singapore Mental Health Study, Well-being of the Singapore Elderly Study Singapore Translational Clinical Research in Psychosis : Identification of Biomarkers of Schizophrenia and related psychoses Neurocognition in Serious Mental Illness Neuroimaging Clinical Trials in  Schizophrenia , Autism, ADHD, Addiction Health Service Research in Mental Health It has embarked on a S$4.4-million three-year nationwide epidemiological study – Well-being of the Singapore Elderly (WiSE) – that aims to establish high-quality data of the burden of dementia and depression among the elderly in Singapore and to bridge the knowledge gap on the associated risk factors, healthcare use and economic impact. This study is a collaboration with international and local research investigators from various Singapore hospitals as well as from  King's College London .\n IMH plays a leading role in developing the current and next generation of mental healthcare professionals. It provides pre-professional education for medical undergraduates and post-graduate education for those pursuing a specialisation in psychiatry. The hospital also trains nurses through its continuing nursing education programmes and offers internship and clinical attachment opportunities for students preparing to be allied health professionals.\n List of chief executive officers [ edit ] Luisa Lee: 1993–1999 [ 5 ] Kua Ee Heok: 1999–2002 [ 6 ] Leong Yew Meng: 2002–2011 [ 7 ] Chua Hong Choon: 2011–2021 [ 8 ] Daniel Fung: 2021–Present Recognition & Awards [ edit ] In 2006, IMH's Early Psychosis Intervention Programme won the  World Health Organization  State of Kuwait Prize for Research in Health Promotion. [ 9 ] [ 10 ] In 2011, IMH clinched the inaugural Grand Award for the Hospital of the Year, at the Asian Hospital Management Awards organised by Hospital Management Asia. The award recognises and honours hospitals in Asia that carry out best practices.\n In 2012, the Institute of Mental Health earned the Accreditation with Distinction from the American Nurse Credentialing Center (ANCC), for its nursing education, becoming the only institution outside the US to receive this recognition.

It was then known as the [Insane Hospital](https:\/\/www.nlb.gov.sg\/main\/article-detail?cmsuuid=0eb9d0bb-84f0-457b-92bb-2e1fc66dc969#:~:text=In%201841%2C%20a%20simple%2030-bed%20hospital%20for%20the,care%20for%20people%20with%20mental%20disorders%20in%20Singapore.). It was renamed the Lunatic Asylum in 1861 and moved to a site near the old [Kandang Kerbau Maternity Hospital](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/KK_Women%27s_and_Children%27s_Hospital \"KK Women's and Children's Hospital\"). In 1887, the hospital relocated to the New Lunatic Asylum, with a capacity for 300 patients, built at College Road. In 1928, a 24-ward Mental Hospital was built along Yio Chu Kang Road. The New Lunatic Asylum and another psychiatric ward at Pasir Panjang were closed down and 1,030 patients were transferred to the **Mental Hospital**.[\\[1\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Institute_of_Mental_Health_\$Singapore\$#cite_note-1)\n\nSpread out over 80 hectares of land, the Mental Hospital was then the largest medical facility in Singapore providing custodial care for the mentally ill, with a capacity for 1,400 patients. In the 1920s, caring for the mentally ill was mainly custodial in nature. Patients were segregated from the community and were cared for by a handful of expatriate nurses with the help of health attendants who were not trained in nursing.[\\[2\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Institute_of_Mental_Health_\$Singapore\$#cite_note-Institute_of_Mental_Health_2003_83-2)\n\nAfter Singapore [surrendered](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fall_of_Singapore \"Fall of Singapore\") to the Japanese in 1942, about 700–800 seriously wounded civilian casualties were transferred from the General Hospital to the Mental Hospital, which was transformed into the Japanese Civilian and Military Hospital. The Japanese transferred about 500 'quieter' mental patients to St John's Island, where many starved to death. The remaining 1,000 were locked up and neglected, of which about 600 were transferred in 1944 to the [Central Mental Hospital](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/w\/index.php?title=Hospital_Bahagia_Ulu_Kinta&action=edit&redlink=1 \"Hospital Bahagia Ulu Kinta (page does not exist)\"), [Tanjung Rambutan](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tanjung_Rambutan \"Tanjung Rambutan\"), in [Perak](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Perak \"Perak\"), Malaysia. Of these 600, after the war, only 329 returned.\n\n[![](https:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/commons\/thumb\/c\/c4\/CF_001015.jpg\/250px-CF_001015.jpg)](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/File:CF_001015.jpg)\n\nBritish and Japanese patients, accompanied by nurses, take exercise in the grounds of 81 Mobile Field Hospital.\n\nFor a brief period from 1945 to 1947, the British Royal Air Force from the nearby Seletar Airfield requisitioned the hospital for use to treat the sick and wounded of Allied servicemen and [Japanese POWs](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Japanese_prisoners_of_war_in_World_War_II \"Japanese prisoners of war in World War II\") after the end of World War II. The female section was converted into the RAF Hospital while the male section became the Japanese Prisoners of War Hospital. The hospital was known as the 81 Mobile Field Hospital until its return to civilian usage in 1947. The hospital was the first Royal Air Force hospital established after the Japanese surrender.\n\nIn 1946, the Mental Hospital was returned to its original function, housing some 440 mental patients. In 1951, to reduce some of the stigma associated with mental illness, the hospital was renamed **Woodbridge Hospital**. This name was derived from the local Chinese name for the hospital area—'Pang Kio' ('Wooden Bridge') — as there was a wooden bridge in the hospital vicinity in Yio Chu Kang.\n\nBy 1958, Woodbridge Hospital had accommodation for 2,000 patients. The Psychiatric School of Nursing was set up in 1954. In 1955, a social work department was formed as well as an improved occupational therapy service. Psychological services were started in 1956 and V.W. Wilson, the first clinically trained psychologist in Singapore, was contracted from the United Kingdom by the Colonial Medical Service to incorporate a psychological service within the mental health programme.\n\nA Child Guidance Clinic was opened in 1970. This grew to become the Child Psychiatric Clinic, which also provided family therapy.[\\[2\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Institute_of_Mental_Health_\$Singapore\$#cite_note-Institute_of_Mental_Health_2003_83-2) A Community Psychiatric Nursing programme was set up in 1988 and psychiatric nurses conducted home visits to provide care, support and follow-up for patients within the community.\n\nUp to 1981, psychiatry trainees were sent to the UK to train for the [MRCPsych](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Member_of_the_Royal_College_of_Psychiatrists \"Member of the Royal College of Psychiatrists\") qualification. After 1983, Woodbridge, began to train its own psychiatrists in collaboration with the [NUS medical school](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Yong_Loo_Lin_School_of_Medicine \"Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine\"). The first locally trained Master of Medicine trainee in Psychiatry graduated in 1985.\n\nIn 1984, the Ministry of Health mooted the idea of a new psychiatric hospital to evolve from a largely custodial care model to one of community care for the benefit of the people. The prevention, early treatment and rehabilitation of clients with mental conditions would actively operate within the community as opposed to late treatment within an institution that isolates them from everyday life, making reintegration into the community difficult.\n\nPlans were put in place for a very different hospital that would change mental healthcare in Singapore with further emphasis on training and new initiatives in mental health promotion and clinical research.[\\[3\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Institute_of_Mental_Health_\$Singapore\$#cite_note-3)\n\nWoodbridge moved to its present 25-hectare premises in Hougang in 1993. With the move, it was reorganised and renamed the **Institute of Mental Health** Hospital to reflect its added commitment to research and training.\n\nIMH became the first mental health institution in Asia to receive Joint Commission International Accreditation in 2005, an international accreditation of healthcare organisations. Besides providing clinical services, IMH coordinates and oversees education of clinicians, nurses and allied health professionals in psychiatry and conducts research related to mental health.\n\nIn 2006, the Institute of Mental Health compound was marked as Singapore's 83rd historic site by the National Heritage Board due to its history as Singapore's first mental institution.[\\[4\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Institute_of_Mental_Health_\$Singapore\$#cite_note-news-4)\n\nIt also plays a key role in developing capability in community agencies, such as family service centres, to enable staff to support persons with mental health problems in the community.\n\n## Community-Based Services\n\\[[edit](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/w\/index.php?title=Institute_of_Mental_Health_\$Singapore\$&action=edit&section=2 \"Edit section: Community-Based Services\")\\]\n\nIn 2007, the National Mental Health Blueprint was established by the Ministry of Health (MOH). With a reinvestment fund of \\$88 million over 5 years, its objective was to develop national capability in mental health services. IMH initiated a number of community-based programmes as part of the Blueprint, targeted at the three main population segments—children, adults and the elderly.\n\n- Response, Early intervention and Assessment in Community mental Health (REACH). REACH is a community-based mental health service which works with schools, community agencies and family doctors to help students with mental disorders.\n- Community Health Assessment Team (CHAT). CHAT is a national youth mental health programme that enables youths to seek help for emotional and mental health issues. Its aims are to raise awareness of youth mental health and provide a free, confidential assessment service. CHAT also conducts school programmes.\n- Community Mental Health Team (CMHT). The CMHT comprises doctors, community psychiatric nurses, and allied health specialists and provides community-based treatment and psycho-social rehabilitation of our patients, integrating them into the community whilst in recovery.\n- Aged Psychiatry Community Assessment Treatment Service (APCATS). APCATS is a community-based psychogeriatric clinical service which provides assessment and treatment for homebound or frail elderly patients with mental disorders. APCATS comprises geriatric psychiatrists, medical officers, psychologists, geriatric psychiatric nurses, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, and medical social workers. The team also makes home visits to patients.\n\n## Research\n\\[[edit](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/w\/index.php?title=Institute_of_Mental_Health_\$Singapore\$&action=edit&section=3 \"Edit section: Research\")\\]\n\nThe key focus areas of research at IMH are mental health policy research and translational clinical research.\n\nKey research spearheaded by IMH include:\n\n- [Psychiatric Epidemiology](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Psychiatric_Epidemiology \"Psychiatric Epidemiology\"): Singapore Mental Health Study, Well-being of the Singapore Elderly Study\n- Singapore Translational Clinical Research in Psychosis : Identification of Biomarkers of Schizophrenia and related psychoses\n- Neurocognition in Serious Mental Illness\n- [Neuroimaging](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Neuroimaging \"Neuroimaging\")\n- Clinical Trials in [Schizophrenia](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Schizophrenia \"Schizophrenia\"), Autism, ADHD, Addiction\n- Health Service Research in Mental Health\n\nIt has embarked on a S\\$4.4-million three-year nationwide epidemiological study – Well-being of the Singapore Elderly (WiSE) – that aims to establish high-quality data of the burden of dementia and depression among the elderly in Singapore and to bridge the knowledge gap on the associated risk factors, healthcare use and economic impact. This study is a collaboration with international and local research investigators from various Singapore hospitals as well as from [King's College London](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/King%27s_College_London \"King's College London\").\n\n## Education\n\\[[edit](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/w\/index.php?title=Institute_of_Mental_Health_\$Singapore\$&action=edit&section=4 \"Edit section: Education\")\\]\n\nIMH plays a leading role in developing the current and next generation of mental healthcare professionals. It provides pre-professional education for medical undergraduates and post-graduate education for those pursuing a specialisation in psychiatry. The hospital also trains nurses through its continuing nursing education programmes and offers internship and clinical attachment opportunities for students preparing to be allied health professionals.\n\n## List of chief executive officers\n\\[[edit](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/w\/index.php?title=Institute_of_Mental_Health_\$Singapore\$&action=edit&section=5 \"Edit section: List of chief executive officers\")\\]\n\n- Luisa Lee: 1993–1999[\\[5\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Institute_of_Mental_Health_\$Singapore\$#cite_note-5)\n- Kua Ee Heok: 1999–2002[\\[6\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Institute_of_Mental_Health_\$Singapore\$#cite_note-6)\n- Leong Yew Meng: 2002–2011[\\[7\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Institute_of_Mental_Health_\$Singapore\$#cite_note-7)\n- Chua Hong Choon: 2011–2021[\\[8\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Institute_of_Mental_Health_\$Singapore\$#cite_note-8)\n- Daniel Fung: 2021–Present\n\n## Recognition & Awards\n\\[[edit](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/w\/index.php?title=Institute_of_Mental_Health_\$Singapore\$&action=edit&section=6 \"Edit section: Recognition & Awards\")\\]\n\nIn 2006, IMH's Early Psychosis Intervention Programme won the [World Health Organization](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/World_Health_Organization \"World Health Organization\") State of Kuwait Prize for Research in Health Promotion.[\\[9\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Institute_of_Mental_Health_\$Singapore\$#cite_note-9)[\\[10\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Institute_of_Mental_Health_\$Singapore\$#cite_note-10)\n\nIn 2011, IMH clinched the inaugural Grand Award for the Hospital of the Year, at the Asian Hospital Management Awards organised by Hospital Management Asia.

Boilerpipe Text	Hospital in Hougang, Singapore Hospital in Singapore , Singapore The Institute of Mental Health ( IMH ), formerly known as Woodbridge Hospital , is a psychiatric hospital in Hougang , Singapore . IMH is the only tertiary hospital in Singapore that specialises in psychiatry. It has over 50 wards and 2010 beds for inpatients and seven specialist clinics for outpatients. Apart from its hospital-based services, IMH runs satellite clinics at different locations in Singapore and executes community mental healthcare programmes. Daniel Fung is the current CEO of IMH. The earliest psychiatric facility in Singapore was a 30-bed building at the corner of Bras Basah Road and Bencoolen Street in 1841. It was then known as the Insane Hospital . It was renamed the Lunatic Asylum in 1861 and moved to a site near the old Kandang Kerbau Maternity Hospital . In 1887, the hospital relocated to the New Lunatic Asylum, with a capacity for 300 patients, built at College Road. In 1928, a 24-ward Mental Hospital was built along Yio Chu Kang Road. The New Lunatic Asylum and another psychiatric ward at Pasir Panjang were closed down and 1,030 patients were transferred to the Mental Hospital . [ 1 ] Spread out over 80 hectares of land, the Mental Hospital was then the largest medical facility in Singapore providing custodial care for the mentally ill, with a capacity for 1,400 patients. In the 1920s, caring for the mentally ill was mainly custodial in nature. Patients were segregated from the community and were cared for by a handful of expatriate nurses with the help of health attendants who were not trained in nursing. [ 2 ] After Singapore surrendered to the Japanese in 1942, about 700–800 seriously wounded civilian casualties were transferred from the General Hospital to the Mental Hospital, which was transformed into the Japanese Civilian and Military Hospital. The Japanese transferred about 500 'quieter' mental patients to St John's Island, where many starved to death. The remaining 1,000 were locked up and neglected, of which about 600 were transferred in 1944 to the Central Mental Hospital , Tanjung Rambutan , in Perak , Malaysia. Of these 600, after the war, only 329 returned. British and Japanese patients, accompanied by nurses, take exercise in the grounds of 81 Mobile Field Hospital. For a brief period from 1945 to 1947, the British Royal Air Force from the nearby Seletar Airfield requisitioned the hospital for use to treat the sick and wounded of Allied servicemen and Japanese POWs after the end of World War II. The female section was converted into the RAF Hospital while the male section became the Japanese Prisoners of War Hospital. The hospital was known as the 81 Mobile Field Hospital until its return to civilian usage in 1947. The hospital was the first Royal Air Force hospital established after the Japanese surrender. In 1946, the Mental Hospital was returned to its original function, housing some 440 mental patients. In 1951, to reduce some of the stigma associated with mental illness, the hospital was renamed Woodbridge Hospital . This name was derived from the local Chinese name for the hospital area—'Pang Kio' ('Wooden Bridge') — as there was a wooden bridge in the hospital vicinity in Yio Chu Kang. By 1958, Woodbridge Hospital had accommodation for 2,000 patients. The Psychiatric School of Nursing was set up in 1954. In 1955, a social work department was formed as well as an improved occupational therapy service. Psychological services were started in 1956 and V.W. Wilson, the first clinically trained psychologist in Singapore, was contracted from the United Kingdom by the Colonial Medical Service to incorporate a psychological service within the mental health programme. A Child Guidance Clinic was opened in 1970. This grew to become the Child Psychiatric Clinic, which also provided family therapy. [ 2 ] A Community Psychiatric Nursing programme was set up in 1988 and psychiatric nurses conducted home visits to provide care, support and follow-up for patients within the community. Up to 1981, psychiatry trainees were sent to the UK to train for the MRCPsych qualification. After 1983, Woodbridge, began to train its own psychiatrists in collaboration with the NUS medical school . The first locally trained Master of Medicine trainee in Psychiatry graduated in 1985. In 1984, the Ministry of Health mooted the idea of a new psychiatric hospital to evolve from a largely custodial care model to one of community care for the benefit of the people. The prevention, early treatment and rehabilitation of clients with mental conditions would actively operate within the community as opposed to late treatment within an institution that isolates them from everyday life, making reintegration into the community difficult. Plans were put in place for a very different hospital that would change mental healthcare in Singapore with further emphasis on training and new initiatives in mental health promotion and clinical research. [ 3 ] Woodbridge moved to its present 25-hectare premises in Hougang in 1993. With the move, it was reorganised and renamed the Institute of Mental Health Hospital to reflect its added commitment to research and training. IMH became the first mental health institution in Asia to receive Joint Commission International Accreditation in 2005, an international accreditation of healthcare organisations. Besides providing clinical services, IMH coordinates and oversees education of clinicians, nurses and allied health professionals in psychiatry and conducts research related to mental health. In 2006, the Institute of Mental Health compound was marked as Singapore's 83rd historic site by the National Heritage Board due to its history as Singapore's first mental institution. [ 4 ] It also plays a key role in developing capability in community agencies, such as family service centres, to enable staff to support persons with mental health problems in the community. Community-Based Services [ edit ] In 2007, the National Mental Health Blueprint was established by the Ministry of Health (MOH). With a reinvestment fund of $88 million over 5 years, its objective was to develop national capability in mental health services. IMH initiated a number of community-based programmes as part of the Blueprint, targeted at the three main population segments—children, adults and the elderly. Response, Early intervention and Assessment in Community mental Health (REACH). REACH is a community-based mental health service which works with schools, community agencies and family doctors to help students with mental disorders. Community Health Assessment Team (CHAT). CHAT is a national youth mental health programme that enables youths to seek help for emotional and mental health issues. Its aims are to raise awareness of youth mental health and provide a free, confidential assessment service. CHAT also conducts school programmes. Community Mental Health Team (CMHT). The CMHT comprises doctors, community psychiatric nurses, and allied health specialists and provides community-based treatment and psycho-social rehabilitation of our patients, integrating them into the community whilst in recovery. Aged Psychiatry Community Assessment Treatment Service (APCATS). APCATS is a community-based psychogeriatric clinical service which provides assessment and treatment for homebound or frail elderly patients with mental disorders. APCATS comprises geriatric psychiatrists, medical officers, psychologists, geriatric psychiatric nurses, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, and medical social workers. The team also makes home visits to patients. The key focus areas of research at IMH are mental health policy research and translational clinical research. Key research spearheaded by IMH include: Psychiatric Epidemiology : Singapore Mental Health Study, Well-being of the Singapore Elderly Study Singapore Translational Clinical Research in Psychosis : Identification of Biomarkers of Schizophrenia and related psychoses Neurocognition in Serious Mental Illness Neuroimaging Clinical Trials in Schizophrenia , Autism, ADHD, Addiction Health Service Research in Mental Health It has embarked on a S$4.4-million three-year nationwide epidemiological study – Well-being of the Singapore Elderly (WiSE) – that aims to establish high-quality data of the burden of dementia and depression among the elderly in Singapore and to bridge the knowledge gap on the associated risk factors, healthcare use and economic impact. This study is a collaboration with international and local research investigators from various Singapore hospitals as well as from King's College London . IMH plays a leading role in developing the current and next generation of mental healthcare professionals. It provides pre-professional education for medical undergraduates and post-graduate education for those pursuing a specialisation in psychiatry. The hospital also trains nurses through its continuing nursing education programmes and offers internship and clinical attachment opportunities for students preparing to be allied health professionals.

[ 9 ] [ 10 ] In 2011, IMH clinched the inaugural Grand Award for the Hospital of the Year, at the Asian Hospital Management Awards organised by Hospital Management Asia. The award recognises and honours hospitals in Asia that carry out best practices. In 2012, the Institute of Mental Health earned the Accreditation with Distinction from the American Nurse Credentialing Center (ANCC), for its nursing education, becoming the only institution outside the US to receive this recognition.

In 1887, the hospital relocated to the New Lunatic Asylum, with a capacity for 300 patients, built at College Road. In 1928, a 24-ward Mental Hospital was built along Yio Chu Kang Road. The New Lunatic Asylum and another psychiatric ward at Pasir Panjang were closed down and 1,030 patients were transferred to the Mental Hospital.[\[1\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Institute_of_Mental_Health_$Singapore$#cite_note-1) Spread out over 80 hectares of land, the Mental Hospital was then the largest medical facility in Singapore providing custodial care for the mentally ill, with a capacity for 1,400 patients. In the 1920s, caring for the mentally ill was mainly custodial in nature. Patients were segregated from the community and were cared for by a handful of expatriate nurses with the help of health attendants who were not trained in nursing.[\[2\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Institute_of_Mental_Health_$Singapore$#cite_note-Institute_of_Mental_Health_2003_83-2) After Singapore [surrendered](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fall_of_Singapore "Fall of Singapore") to the Japanese in 1942, about 700–800 seriously wounded civilian casualties were transferred from the General Hospital to the Mental Hospital, which was transformed into the Japanese Civilian and Military Hospital. The Japanese transferred about 500 'quieter' mental patients to St John's Island, where many starved to death. The remaining 1,000 were locked up and neglected, of which about 600 were transferred in 1944 to the [Central Mental Hospital](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hospital_Bahagia_Ulu_Kinta&action=edit&redlink=1 "Hospital Bahagia Ulu Kinta (page does not exist)"), [Tanjung Rambutan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tanjung_Rambutan "Tanjung Rambutan"), in [Perak](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perak "Perak"), Malaysia. Of these 600, after the war, only 329 returned. [![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c4/CF_001015.jpg/250px-CF_001015.jpg)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:CF_001015.jpg) British and Japanese patients, accompanied by nurses, take exercise in the grounds of 81 Mobile Field Hospital. For a brief period from 1945 to 1947, the British Royal Air Force from the nearby Seletar Airfield requisitioned the hospital for use to treat the sick and wounded of Allied servicemen and [Japanese POWs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_prisoners_of_war_in_World_War_II "Japanese prisoners of war in World War II") after the end of World War II. The female section was converted into the RAF Hospital while the male section became the Japanese Prisoners of War Hospital. The hospital was known as the 81 Mobile Field Hospital until its return to civilian usage in 1947. The hospital was the first Royal Air Force hospital established after the Japanese surrender. In 1946, the Mental Hospital was returned to its original function, housing some 440 mental patients. In 1951, to reduce some of the stigma associated with mental illness, the hospital was renamed Woodbridge Hospital. This name was derived from the local Chinese name for the hospital area—'Pang Kio' ('Wooden Bridge') — as there was a wooden bridge in the hospital vicinity in Yio Chu Kang. By 1958, Woodbridge Hospital had accommodation for 2,000 patients. The Psychiatric School of Nursing was set up in 1954. In 1955, a social work department was formed as well as an improved occupational therapy service. Psychological services were started in 1956 and V.W. Wilson, the first clinically trained psychologist in Singapore, was contracted from the United Kingdom by the Colonial Medical Service to incorporate a psychological service within the mental health programme. A Child Guidance Clinic was opened in 1970. This grew to become the Child Psychiatric Clinic, which also provided family therapy.[\[2\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Institute_of_Mental_Health_$Singapore$#cite_note-Institute_of_Mental_Health_2003_83-2) A Community Psychiatric Nursing programme was set up in 1988 and psychiatric nurses conducted home visits to provide care, support and follow-up for patients within the community. Up to 1981, psychiatry trainees were sent to the UK to train for the [MRCPsych](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Member_of_the_Royal_College_of_Psychiatrists "Member of the Royal College of Psychiatrists") qualification. After 1983, Woodbridge, began to train its own psychiatrists in collaboration with the [NUS medical school](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yong_Loo_Lin_School_of_Medicine "Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine"). The first locally trained Master of Medicine trainee in Psychiatry graduated in 1985. In 1984, the Ministry of Health mooted the idea of a new psychiatric hospital to evolve from a largely custodial care model to one of community care for the benefit of the people. The prevention, early treatment and rehabilitation of clients with mental conditions would actively operate within the community as opposed to late treatment within an institution that isolates them from everyday life, making reintegration into the community difficult. Plans were put in place for a very different hospital that would change mental healthcare in Singapore with further emphasis on training and new initiatives in mental health promotion and clinical research.[\[3\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Institute_of_Mental_Health_$Singapore$#cite_note-3) Woodbridge moved to its present 25-hectare premises in Hougang in 1993. With the move, it was reorganised and renamed the Institute of Mental Health Hospital to reflect its added commitment to research and training. IMH became the first mental health institution in Asia to receive Joint Commission International Accreditation in 2005, an international accreditation of healthcare organisations. Besides providing clinical services, IMH coordinates and oversees education of clinicians, nurses and allied health professionals in psychiatry and conducts research related to mental health. In 2006, the Institute of Mental Health compound was marked as Singapore's 83rd historic site by the National Heritage Board due to its history as Singapore's first mental institution.[\[4\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Institute_of_Mental_Health_$Singapore$#cite_note-news-4) It also plays a key role in developing capability in community agencies, such as family service centres, to enable staff to support persons with mental health problems in the community. ## Community-Based Services \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Institute_of_Mental_Health_$Singapore$&action=edit&section=2 "Edit section: Community-Based Services")\] In 2007, the National Mental Health Blueprint was established by the Ministry of Health (MOH). With a reinvestment fund of \$88 million over 5 years, its objective was to develop national capability in mental health services. IMH initiated a number of community-based programmes as part of the Blueprint, targeted at the three main population segments—children, adults and the elderly. - Response, Early intervention and Assessment in Community mental Health (REACH). REACH is a community-based mental health service which works with schools, community agencies and family doctors to help students with mental disorders. - Community Health Assessment Team (CHAT). CHAT is a national youth mental health programme that enables youths to seek help for emotional and mental health issues. Its aims are to raise awareness of youth mental health and provide a free, confidential assessment service. CHAT also conducts school programmes. - Community Mental Health Team (CMHT). The CMHT comprises doctors, community psychiatric nurses, and allied health specialists and provides community-based treatment and psycho-social rehabilitation of our patients, integrating them into the community whilst in recovery. - Aged Psychiatry Community Assessment Treatment Service (APCATS). APCATS is a community-based psychogeriatric clinical service which provides assessment and treatment for homebound or frail elderly patients with mental disorders. APCATS comprises geriatric psychiatrists, medical officers, psychologists, geriatric psychiatric nurses, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, and medical social workers. The team also makes home visits to patients. ## Research \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Institute_of_Mental_Health_$Singapore$&action=edit&section=3 "Edit section: Research")\] The key focus areas of research at IMH are mental health policy research and translational clinical research. Key research spearheaded by IMH include: - [Psychiatric Epidemiology](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychiatric_Epidemiology "Psychiatric Epidemiology"): Singapore Mental Health Study, Well-being of the Singapore Elderly Study - Singapore Translational Clinical Research in Psychosis : Identification of Biomarkers of Schizophrenia and related psychoses - Neurocognition in Serious Mental Illness - [Neuroimaging](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuroimaging "Neuroimaging") - Clinical Trials in [Schizophrenia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schizophrenia "Schizophrenia"), Autism, ADHD, Addiction - Health Service Research in Mental Health It has embarked on a S\$4.4-million three-year nationwide epidemiological study – Well-being of the Singapore Elderly (WiSE) – that aims to establish high-quality data of the burden of dementia and depression among the elderly in Singapore and to bridge the knowledge gap on the associated risk factors, healthcare use and economic impact. This study is a collaboration with international and local research investigators from various Singapore hospitals as well as from [King's College London](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King%27s_College_London "King's College London"). ## Education \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Institute_of_Mental_Health_$Singapore$&action=edit&section=4 "Edit section: Education")\] IMH plays a leading role in developing the current and next generation of mental healthcare professionals. It provides pre-professional education for medical undergraduates and post-graduate education for those pursuing a specialisation in psychiatry. The hospital also trains nurses through its continuing nursing education programmes and offers internship and clinical attachment opportunities for students preparing to be allied health professionals. ## List of chief executive officers \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Institute_of_Mental_Health_$Singapore$&action=edit&section=5 "Edit section: List of chief executive officers")\] - Luisa Lee: 1993–1999[\[5\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Institute_of_Mental_Health_$Singapore$#cite_note-5) - Kua Ee Heok: 1999–2002[\[6\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Institute_of_Mental_Health_$Singapore$#cite_note-6) - Leong Yew Meng: 2002–2011[\[7\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Institute_of_Mental_Health_$Singapore$#cite_note-7) - Chua Hong Choon: 2011–2021[\[8\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Institute_of_Mental_Health_$Singapore$#cite_note-8) - Daniel Fung: 2021–Present ## Recognition & Awards \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Institute_of_Mental_Health_$Singapore$&action=edit&section=6 "Edit section: Recognition & Awards")\] In 2006, IMH's Early Psychosis Intervention Programme won the [World Health Organization](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Health_Organization "World Health Organization") State of Kuwait Prize for Research in Health Promotion.[\[9\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Institute_of_Mental_Health_$Singapore$#cite_note-9)[\[10\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Institute_of_Mental_Health_$Singapore$#cite_note-10) In 2011, IMH clinched the inaugural Grand Award for the Hospital of the Year, at the Asian Hospital Management Awards organised by Hospital Management Asia. The award recognises and honours hospitals in Asia that carry out best practices. In 2012, the Institute of Mental Health earned the Accreditation with Distinction from the American Nurse Credentialing Center (ANCC), for its nursing education, becoming the only institution outside the US to receive this recognition.[\[11\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Institute_of_Mental_Health_$Singapore$#cite_note-11) ## Bibliography \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Institute_of_Mental_Health_$Singapore$&action=edit&section=7 "Edit section: Bibliography")\] - IMH Link (Periodical published by The institute) - Loving Hearts, Beautiful Minds: 75th Anniversary.
