It started out as a military hospital in 1938. The hospital was restructured and became a member of NHG in October 2000.
Today, it offers personalised care in a tranquil and healing environment in the midst of lush greenery. Here, in AH, the focus is not only to heal the sick but also to help people stay on top of their health. Its prescription for health is prevention and this is done through public education and health screening programmes. It runs a Health for Life Centre and weight management clinics as well as specialist clinics in the different disciplines.
Since the restructure, the hospital was transformed from an old, ageing building into a quaint and bustling garden hospital. The years that followed saw new leadership with new initiatives to provide a patient-centred service.
AH’s care philosophy is to make its services more comprehensive and convenient for patients. Its holistic approach to healing stems from the belief that when patients’ needs are addressed, they recover faster and better.
AH works hard to continue to build on its medical capabilities with new services and facilities to better meet the needs of the people it serves. And it strives to emulate best practices in the other industries to provide even better healthcare for all.
