Whenever we passed by our general hospital, one of the random thoughts that came to mind was – whoever chose the site it is on must not have anticipated the need for expansion.
It cannot be ideal to have part of the building just next to a highway?
This extension project must surely be the last of any expansion work for this place because there is simply no more space! If further expansion is required, the next logical step would probably be a complete relocation.
Another random thought about our hospital service is just how dependent we are on foreign staffs. During the time I was warded and when I had enough strength to wander and observe, I noticed busloads of foreign medical staffs being ferried to and fro the hospital.
It’s understandable that we do not have enough qualified locals for senior positions such as Medical or Health Services Manager Jobs but surely there’s enough for junior nurses and especially cleaners?
