The hospital specialises in gynaecology and in vitro fertilisation (IVF), which began operations in 1979.

The hospital was founded by Dr. Cheng Wei Chen – a specialist in Obstetrics and Gynecology. Thomson Medical Center was built on the grounds of Dr Cheng’s wife’s family bungalow and on a neighbouring parcel of land that used to house Yamaha Music School. Construction of the hospital took place over nine months in 1978, in collaboration with his brother and architect, William Cheng, while Dr Cheng still operated his practice from a small plot on-site.

When Thomson Medical Centre became operational in 1979, they were the only private niche hospital for women and children in Singapore, specialising in obstetrics, gynaecology and paediatrics.

Thomson Medical Centre is the first private hospital in Singapore to set up an In-vitro fertilisation clinic on its premises. In 1988, the hospital delivered Singapore’s first IVF triplets. In the same year, the Thomson Fertility Clinic was set up. As of 2009, more than 5,000 couples have been treated for fertility and over 900 IVF babies have been born at their clinic.

In 1989, Thomson Medical Centre delivered Asia’s first set of surviving IVF quadruplets, delivered by Dr Cheng. The Tan quadruplets are born on Mother’s Day and consist of three girls and a boy. Since 1990, fertility specialists have capped the number of implanted embryos at three, making the Tan quadruplets one of the last IVF quadruplets in Singapore.

In 1990, the hospital produced its first frozen embryo baby. In 2000, they were the world’s first fertility clinic to produce twins from frozen eggs and frozen sperm.

In a recent survey conducted by Statista, Thomson Medical ranked 50th among Singapore’s 200 Best Employers and 2nd in the Health & Social Care category.
