Hospital Buildings at Singapore General Hospital

The whole hospital wards are in one integrated building (including outpatient emergency department, ward medicine, surgery, medical and technical departments, office building, conference room, service department, etc. are all in one building), and the linkage between departments can be made through the closed central transmission system, which is both convenient, fast and safe.

Each floor is equipped with six elevators. 1 elevator for patients, 2 elevators for family members, 1 elevator for staff, 1 elevator for food trucks, and 1 elevator for transporting dirt. Patient-only elevator is limited to the second floor, and all the medical departments are located above the second floor, the reason is to effectively protect the patient's right to privacy, because the first floor is a public **** place, all the patients, visitors, medical staff and so on to and fro, and some are plastic, burns or amputations need to go out to check or treatment and do not want to let people know, so as not to cause unnecessary psychological trauma.
