SG adds around 500 beds to SG healthcare facilities, more expected by year-end

Singapore aims to add 1,300 beds by the end of the year, Health Minister Ong Ye Kung said.

Around 500 beds have been added to Singapore's healthcare facilities, with the Ministry of Health (MOH) saying it is on track to add about 800 more by the end of the year.

Of the added capacity, 30 beds were at acute hospitals, 90 at community hospitals, more than 350 at nursing homes, and 20 at Mobile Inpatient Care at Home.

Health Minister Ong Ye Kung announced the development at the opening of the Tan Tock Seng Hospital-Integrated Care Hub on Monday. The upgrade is a response to address the overwhelming bed crunch at hospitals.

In a statement, Ong said that the additional capacity requires more manpower, adding that the MOH will continue to closely monitor both the infrastructure development and manpower inflows to ensure that they are increasing in tandem.

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.
