Changi General Hospital (CGH) is an award-winning public hospital with over 1,000 beds caring for a community of more than 1 million people in the East. CGH offers a comprehensive range of medical specialties and services, helmed by a highly experienced and skilled team of healthcare professionals who consistently deliver excellent health outcomes and care for patients.

The CGH Campus’ vision is to focus on promoting holistic, patient-centred care for the people of eastern Singapore. It achieves this through integrated and innovative facilities that enable the delivery of seamless, high-quality healthcare services. Under this vision, CGH has added two new facilities – The Integrated Building and the Medical Centre. Opened in December 2014, the Integrated Building provides a conducive healing environment for patients across hospital and rehabilitation settings, including the eventual transition of patients back to their homes.
The Medical Centre houses a variety of outpatient centres, with more than 130 consultation rooms for specialist outpatient care and minor surgery rooms. It is designed to enable multi-disciplinary consultation and facilities integrated specialist outpatient care.
CGH believes in delivering the best patient care with passion and empathy. To improve care for patients, CGH has adopted a proactive integrated care approach. CGH aims to deliver better, seamless and Integrated Medical services by partnering healthcare providers in the east and innovating by adopting new medical technologies and systems.
We were first tasked to redesign an asthma brochure on soft copy, that was easy to read and understand for the public. After that, we were also tasked to re-design a mood calendar that was suited to the hospital work environment to lighten the mood for the patient experience staff. After that, we also designed a badge for the regular volunteers of CGH.
In hospitals, there are not only doctors and nurses, but there are also other aspects, such as the administrative and the patient experience staff. Thus, we must not only appreciate the doctor and nurses, but also appreciate those that provide medical facts to the public and those that find ways to make our hospital trips pleasant.
