SGH to relocate emergency department to new building on Jan 18

Members of the public can also access the emergency department through the building’s entrance on level 1 via Kampong Bahru Road or Jalan Bukit Merah. They will need to follow the signs to Lobby D and take the lift to level 3.

Those going to SGH via public transport can alight at Outram Park MRT station and take the blue SGH Campus shuttle bus from exit 6 or 7.

The shuttle service operates from 8am to 7pm from Mondays to Fridays, and from 8am to 2pm on Saturdays and the eves of public holidays. There is no service on Sundays and public holidays.

The hospital said it has informed the Singapore Civil Defence Force, private ambulance service providers and public transport companies about the relocation.

Associate Professor Kenneth Tan Boon Kiat, who heads SGH’s Department of Emergency Medicine, said in the statement: “We understand that relocating our emergency department may cause some initial confusion in the first few weeks. We want to assure all Singaporeans our commitment to provide timely, quality emergency care remains unchanged.”

SGH teams are working to ensure there are clear signage and additional assistance during the transition, he added, as he thanked members of the public for their patience and understanding.
