SINGAPORE – The National University Health System is plugging into Singapore’s electrification drive by installing 22 electric vehicle charging stations across three of its hospitals and replacing ageing fuel-run ambulances and vans with electric ones at two hospitals.
Mr Ng Kian Swan, who chairs NUHS’ energy and water task force, said: “Hospitals are public facilities with footfall, and we can do our part to make accessible to the public EV charging stations, which also encourages our employees to consider zero-emissions electric vehicles.”Mr Ng, who is also chief operating officer of Ng Teng Fong General Hospital, added that the hospital is buying three electric ambulances and one electric van this year for around $500,000.
And by 2024, Ng Teng Fong General Hospital, Alexandra Hospital and the National University Hospital will be the first public hospitals here to have solar panels.
