North West CDC Nee Soon GRC Unofficial Yishun (IPA: /ˈiːʃuːn/ EE-shoon), formerly known as Nee Soon, is a residential town located in the northeastern corner of the North Region of Singapore, bordering Simpang and Sembawang to the north, Mandai to the west, the Central Water Catchment to its southwest, Ang Mo Kio to its south, as well as Seletar and Sengkang to its east and southeast respectively.
Spanning over 3.5 hectares in the Yishun Central Area, the 795-bed general and acute care hospital is managed by Alexandra Health System.
Opened in June 2010, KTPH offers a comprehensive range of medical services and specialist care to the community in the north.
The new Yishun Community Hospital (YCH)[17] with about 428 beds provides sub-acute, rehabilitative, dementia and palliative care for patients.
Opened in May 2024 and managed by NHGP, Khatib Polyclinic is designed with elderly-friendly facilities, a Health Studio for lifestyle workshops, and programmes screening adolescents for psychosocial conditions.
The polyclinic is also integrated with technology like telehealth consultations and self-help blood pressure stations.
The old Yishun Bus Interchange was built in 1987 and was closed on 14 March 2015 serving 28 years of service to Singapore residents so as to make way for Northpoint City.
The new integrated development at Chong Pang City will feature three swimming pools, a gym and fitness studios, which is expected to be completed in 2027.
Yishun was a large, single-member constituency starting in Seletar but later hived into Sembawang and along with a dedicated namesake Nee Soon SMC on later years.
Outside of politics, a member of parliament and the 8th President of Singapore, Halimah Yacob, was a resident of Yishun.
