The Medical Library is the oldest library in NUS. Its origin can be traced back to 1905 when the Straits and Federated Malay States Government Medical School was set up.
It is home to an impressive collection of biomedical subjects, dentistry, medicine, nursing, and pharmacy.
The Medical Library serves primarily the Alice Lee Centre for Nursing Studies, Department of Pharmacy, Faculty of Dentistry, Saw Swee Hock School of Public Health, Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine and Duke-NUS Medical School. It is also used by hospital doctors, health-services personnel, general practitioners, medical officers of the Armed Forces and personnel attached to various government departments, official bodies and scientific organisations.
