SINGAPORE : Health Minister Khaw Boon Wan has confirmed that a new hospital will be built in the western part of Singapore soon.

He also said that the new general hospital in Yishun, the Khoo Teck Puat Hospital, would be ready in three years.

Mr Khaw added that public hospitals would be adding some 150 subsidised beds by the end of the year.

Since the beginning of this year, the Ministry of Health has added 81 subsidised beds in Tan Tock Seng Hospital and National University Hospital (NUH).

Another 67 such beds will be added in NUH and Changi General Hospital in the second half of this year.

The minister was giving these updates on Monday when he addressed the concerns of two MPs in Parliament, who said there was a shortage of beds in subsidised wards.

Mr Khaw said, "We are planning ahead. A new general hospital in the west will be built during the next few years. Otherwise, National University Hospital may become as over-crowded as Tan Tock Seng Hospital is today.

"Our plan is to keep Alexandra Hospital temporarily for a few years while the new general hospital in the west is being built. The exact timing and location are being studied."

I think it's better to expand the hospital's proximity. Some of them are just too crowded and those are some heavy populated areas.
