Our Strategy

Since its founding in 1910, KWSH has remained committed to its role as a charitable organisation, dedicated to addressing the healthcare needs of the elderly in the community.

In May 2023, the KWSH Board of Directors approved a 10-year strategic plan extending through 2033.

KWSH will be guided by the following strategic thrusts and priorities.

With the enactment of The Kwong-Wai-Shiu Free Hospital (Transfer of Undertaking and Dissolution) Act 2017 on 19 May 2017, the old Kwong-Wai-Shiu Hospital Ordinance, enacted in 1910 when KWSH was founded, has ceased to exist. Instead, a successor company, in the form of a company limited by guarantee, has taken over all the assets and liabilities, thus allowing KWSH to operate under a modernised corporate structure. Such changes provide KWSH with greater flexibility to provide quality healthcare services to Singaporeans.

The Kwong-Wai-Shiu Free Hospital (Transfer of Undertaking and Dissolution) Bill was first read in Parliament on 7 November 2016 and subsequently passed on 3 April 2017.

Open performance appraisals are conducted with staff annually. Staff are assessed based on their competencies and performance. The appraisal provides for planning of work objectives, training and development needs, and feedback on performance. 

The appointment and setting of remuneration for key staff would be subjected to approval by the HR Committee.
