Woodlands Health Campus (abbreviation: WHC), also known simply as Woodlands Health (abbreviation: WH) or colloquially as Woodlands General Hospital (abbreviation: WGH), is a government founded medical complex in Woodlands, Singapore. The hospital officially opened on 13 July 2024 and alongside Woodlands serves the northern and northwest populations of the country.[1] Woodlands Health Campus collectively consists of both acute and community facilities.

Operated by the National Healthcare Group (NHG), WHC has a total capacity of 1,800 beds[2] and offers general hospital services with community-based care and is part of Singapore's master plan in providing quality and accessible healthcare to all Singaporeans. WHC also partners with primary care physicians, polyclinics and intermediate and long-term care providers to offer more community-based care for the residents of northern and northwestern Singapore.
