Singapore General Hospital is getting a new emergency medicine building, expected to be completed in mid-2025, to replace the hospital's existing A&E facilities. The new 12-storey building will have about four times the space of the existing emergency facilities. The new building will be connected to the main hospital complex, as well as specialty centres to allow patients to benefit from a wider range of facilities and the pooled expertise of healthcare staff. The Straits Times executive photojournalist Lim Yaohui documents how staff are preparing for the opening of the new building and testing of the new facilities to cater for the increase in demand for emergency care in Singapore.
