Redeveloped Alexandra Hospital to house emergency department, around 1,300 beds

SINGAPORE - From 2028, the 300-bed Alexandra Hospital in Queenstown will be transformed into a bigger hospital comprising about 1,300 beds in total, with the addition of two new high-rise buildings among other upgrades.

Public ambulances will be able to ferry patients living in the vicinity to its emergency department. Currently, AH has a 24-hour urgent care centre, rather than an emergency department.

At the groundbreaking ceremony, AH’s chief executive, Associate Professor Jason Phua, said one of the things that is different about AH is its care model, which aims to make complex healthcare simpler for patients by offering patients acute care and rehabilitative care by the same care team in the same location.

Mr Ong said that AH has found that this model – which he calls a bold experiment – can shorten the length of stay for patients who require both acute and community hospital care, and will implement it at scale when the redevelopment is completed.
