The specialty of

that deals with diseases afflicting the Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT), and Head
and Neck region. In the past few decades, this specialty has grown in scope and
depth, mainly fuelled by the expansion of knowledge, and advances in biomedical
technology.
Otolaryngology or ENT in Singapore
had a modest beginning in the late 1920s and the first full-fledged Department
of ENT was established in 1957 in SGH. Since its humble beginnings, the
department has grown steadily in size and stature, expanding its scope and

In 2019, the department officially changed its name to Department of
