SINGAPORE - A new $820 million National Cancer Centre Singapore building on the Singapore General Hospital campus – which has twice the capacity of its previous premises – officially opened on Thursday, at a ceremony officiated by Deputy Prime Minister Lawrence Wong.
Located at 30 Hospital Boulevard, a stone’s throw from the previous place, its new 24-storey home is not only bigger in size, but also has enhanced facilities for cancer care, rehabilitation, research and education. It is directly connected to Outram Park MRT via a link bridge. By that time, one in four Singaporeans will be aged 65 and above. While medications, diet and healthy lifestyles can help to reduce the incidences of many diseases as well as control them, one unavoidable aspect is the genetic mutations that happen in the cells as one grows older, said Prof Hwang. These can cause cancer, he said.
NCCS will also be the only public institution here where one can get proton beam therapy, an advanced and highly precise radiation treatment. When it receives the go-ahead from the Government, NCCS will open the Goh Cheng Liang Proton Therapy Centre, which is located in basement three.
