The hospital is accredited by Joint Commission International and is located in Singapore's Orchard Road,[3] on Mount Elizabeth. It is the first private hospital in Singapore to perform open-heart surgery and to establish a nuclear medicine centre.[1]
The royal family of Brunei built a Royal Suite in the hospital for their own use. It was later made available for use by other patients.[3]
