Since 2005, the Ministry of Health would commission an independent firm annually to carry out the Patient Satisfaction Survey to gauge the service level of public hospitals and polyclinics. The survey aims to assess the level of patient satisfaction, compare the performance of public healthcare institutions and gather suggestions for improvement.
JurongHealth Campus has been managing Alexandra Hospital since August 2010, while building Ng Teng Fong General Hospital and Jurong Community Hospital. The JurongHealth Campus story is not just about building our new hospitals; it is also about setting the JurongHealth Campus service standard right from the start at Alexandra Hospital.
Staying in a hospital may not be an enjoyable experience. But we strive to make it as pleasant as possible for our patients. While it is important to take care of our patients’ physical well-being, it is even more important to take care of their emotional well-being to set them well on the road of recovery. Even when we move over to our new hospitals, we will continue to do the little things that put a smile on our patients’ faces and work hand in hand with their caregivers.
In keeping with our value, Patient-centredness, we will continue to design and deliver care around the needs of our patients, as well as their caregivers. Care from the heart makes all the difference.
