Our Campaign Story

ends 31 Dec 2023, 11:59 PM

The majority of our nursing home residents come from low-income families. Some of them are confronted with challenges to afford the minimum payment during their long-term stay with us. Your contribution will go towards our Resident's Welfare Fund and help to defray operating costs as we provide round-the-clock care for them.

In addition, the Resident's Welfare Fund would also enable our residents to go for regular outings such as the supermarket, coffeeshop and other places of interest. As our nursing home was birthed during the midst of COVID-19 in 2021, our residents have not had the chance to experience regular outings due to the pandemic's restrictions and safe management measures. Your contribution will cover the costs of transport, sponsor their supermarket trips as well as a meal of their choice at the coffeeshop and most importantly, bring joy to them!

About The Charity

Out of passion to care for the physical, emotional and social well-being of the community, the St. Andrew's Medical Mission was founded in 1913 by Dr. Charlotte Ferguson-Davie, the wife of the first Anglican Bishop of Singapore who was also a medical doctor herself. Seeing the plight of the local women and children of that time and the lack of medical services for them, Dr. Ferguson-Davie set up a dispensary along Bencoolen Street for the destitute women and children. The Medical Mission continued to meet the locals' needs and thus led to the opening of more dispensaries and eventually, St. Andrew's Mission Hospital in 1923 and St. Andrew's Orthopaedic Hospital in 1939.

Working closely with the Government, SAMH constantly developed its services to meet the relevant needs of our local community at all times. Today, SAMH has under its operation: St. Andrew's Autism Centre, St. Andrew's Community Hospital, St. Andrew's Nursing Home, St. Andrew's Senior Care, St. Andrew's Migrant Worker Medical Centre, St. Andrew's Mission School and St. Andrew's Mission Hospital Clinic.
