Far East Organisation To Set Up Novena Surgery

Source : Channel NewsAsia, 01 November 2007

Far East Organisation is throwing its hat into the ring for the hospital site at the junction of Novena Terrace and Irrawady Road.

"Far East is interested in the hospital site that has just been released in Novena Terrace and Irrawaddy Road because we think that it will indeed complete the facilities in that medical cluster," said G L Yap, the executive director of Far East Organization.

"And we just got a copy of the tender documents and we're going to go through them and make our plans."

The comment came today as Far East announced it was setting up Novena Surgery, an outpatient surgery facility at the Novena Medical Centre.

This is a joint venture between Far East and a group of specialist doctors.

The facility caters to patients who need surgery but are able to recover at home.

Far East said that international patients are especially suited to outpatient surgery as treatment is simple and quick, and recovery is fast.

With the outpatient surgery, patients can look forward to cost savings of 20 to 30 per cent on their medical bills.

Novena Surgery will have three operating theatres and two endoscopy suites.

It can offer a range of surgical procedures such as eye surgery, ear-nose-throat, hand surgery, orthopaedic and reconstructive surgery.- CNA/yb
