Healthcare: Singapore's Outsized Influence, Even as a Colony
The Straits Times
|June 11, 2025
As a heritage practitioner, I am excited to hear about Singapore Land Authority's (SLA) plans to revitalise 2 Moulmein Road into a lifestyle destination (Former Communicable Disease Centre in Moulmein Road put up for use as lifestyle hub, May 30, 2025).
The former Communicable Disease Centre (CDC) site is known colloquially as "or sai" (black lion in the Hokkien dialect), named after the emblem of Middleton Hospital, Singapore's first infectious disease hospital established in 1913. It evolved into the CDC in 1992, following a merger between Middleton and Tan Tock Seng hospitals in 1985.
The National Centre for Infectious Diseases (NCID) took over the CDC's functions in 2018, ceasing the latter's continuous operations after 111 years.
