EGH Campus in Bedok North to offer services before 2030 completion

Services, such as teleconsulting and remote monitoring, are expected to start by 2026.

The Eastern General Hospital (EGH) Campus is set to operate virtual wards before its completion to support Changi General Hospital’s (CGH) challenge with capacity and rising healthcare needs in the Eastern region.

In its groundbreaking ceremony, the Minister of Health, Ong Ye Kung, mentioned that these services, including teleconsultations and remote monitoring, are intended to start around 2026.

“Mobile Inpatient Care, or MIC@Home – in SingHealth it is called SingHealth@Home” – in the East will be a combined effort between CGH and EGH,” Ong said.

Meanwhile, the EGH campus is set to operate with 1,400 beds upon its expected completion by 2030.

Ong mentioned that it will be a more “pandemic-ready hospital”, with wards that can be converted for isolation use,  whilst accommodating the need for bed surges during a pandemic.

Moreover, the team at EGH is working on developing wearable sensors to make teleconsultations more effective, whilst training its personnel for telemedicine purposes.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
