[SINGAPORE] To provide people with more lower-cost private healthcare options, the government intends to release a plot of land for a new, private not-for-profit acute hospital in eastern Singapore, Minister for Health Ong Ye Kung announced on Thursday (Apr 9).

This would be the first land release for a private hospital in almost two decades, should plans proceed as expected, he noted.

The proposed hospital would have a capacity for between 300 and 400 hospital beds, according to Ong, who shared this at an event marking the 65th anniversary of Mount Alvernia Hospital – currently the Republic’s only not-for-profit private acute hospital.
