MOH is building a regional hospital in
Yishun to better serve residents from the Northern region of Singapore.
Spanning over 3.4 hectares, the 550-bed hospital will offer a
comprehensive range of medical and healthcare services. |
The new public sector hospital will be named
Khoo Teck Puat Hospital, following the promise of a donation of $125
million from the family of the late banker and philanthropist Tan Sri
Khoo Teck Puat. |
KTPH Private Limited has been incorporated
under MOH Holdings to own and operate Khoo Teck Puat Hospital. |
A Board of Directors, chaired by Ms Jennie
Chua, has been appointed to guide the strategic direction of Khoo Teck
Puat Hospital. |
The Board of Directors will ensure that the
hospital will be managed well with strong corporate governance to
achieve financial sustainability, service excellence, and an active
programme of development and innovation so that it can deliver its
mission to be a hassle-free and patient-centric hospital. |
MOH is pleased that Ms Mavis Khoo,
representing the Khoo Teck Puat Foundation, has agreed to serve as a
member of the Board. Please refer to the Annex for the full list of the
Board of Directors. |
Khoo Teck Puat Hospital will be run by the
existing team running Alexandra Hospital and will continue to be led by
Mr Liak Teng Lit, Chief Executive Officer. The incorporation of the
hospital provides the team with the opportunity to try out innovative
models of care delivery and coordination, as well as eliminate wastage
that stands in the way of efficiency, with a view to improving
healthcare for Singaporeans. |
