To serve the needs of a fast-growing population and support new developments in the area, more public hospitals will be built in Singapore's northern region by 2020, Health Minister Gan Kim Yong said.
Speaking at yesterday's ground-breaking ceremony for Sengkang General and Community Hospitals (pictured), Mr Gan noted that his Ministry is looking at a few areas for the next hospital, with Woodlands being a possibility. While the exact location is unconfirmed, demographic needs will be a key consideration.
