After two years in operation – during which it helped to bolster Singapore’s hospital bed capacity when Covid-19 cases surged – the Outram Community Hospital (OCH) was officially opened yesterday.
It is part of a $4 billion, 20-year revamp of buildings on the Singapore General Hospital (SGH) campus, and occupies six floors in the new SingHealth Tower, also officially opened yesterday.
“Every building that comes online brings with it new infrastructure... and more importantly, our opportunity to transform care,” SingHealth chief executive Ivy Ng said at the opening ceremony.
“The more complex care becomes, the more simple it has to be for patients to navigate through our system.”
