JurongHealth Services pave the way for seamless integrated care for the West with the twinning of the Ng Teng Fong Hospital and Jurong Community Hospital

Centrally located at Jurong East Street 21, the Ng Teng Fong Hospital (NTFH) and Jurong Community Hospital (JCH) will be first in Singapore to be built from ground up as one integrated development to provide seamless, hassle-free healthcare for the Western region.

Scheduled to open in 2014 and early 2015 respectively , NTFH and JCH will offer 120 Consultation Rooms in the Specialist Outpatient Clinics, 18 Operating Theatres and a comprehensive suite of specialist services . The hospitals will also be within easy access for the public in the West through links to the Jurong East MRT station, bus interchange, retail and business complexes – thus bringing specialist and rehabilitation care closer to the community.
Planning, designing and managing both hospitals as one development from the start is a first in Singapore’s healthcare! The twinning will enable patients to benefit from the continuity and seamless co-management of clinical care and expertise by doctors from both hospitals.

NTFH and JCH will also be wired up for connectivity and share services such as digital imaging, pharmacy, catering, medical records, logistics hub as well as training facilities. These efforts will translate into more cost-effective and affordable quality healthcare for the community.
The hospitals will also be the first to provide a window for every patient with its innovative fan-shaped ward design which will provide a more conducive healing environment with significantly improved ventilation, privacy and comfort for patients in subsidised wards.
