The National University Hospital is expanding its medical care facility by building a new medical centre for specialist services which will increase outpatient services by 25%.

The 20-storey building is slated to be ready by 2013. This extension will enhance the hospital's outpatient capacity.

The new centre will boast of eight specialist outpatient clinics along with a cancer centre. It is anticipated that the hospital will increase the number of yearly outpatient visits to 250,000. This would imply a 25% raise. It would also subsidize outpatient care.

This clinic is also meant to make it easier for patients to move about in the hospital. Joe Sim, the hospital’s CEO, shares that the present structure of the hospital does not allow for hassle free mobility. Patients have to find their way through numerous corridors to reach a particular clinic.

The new facility will rid the patients of this problem. Sim declares, "In the new centre, our aim is that when the patients come out of the MRT stations, within three turns they can get to a clinic of their choice".

The hospital also plans open a National Heart Centre and add more beds in the ICU beds.
