Three public hospitals in Singapore will extend their visiting hours beginning in November, allowing visitors greater access to patients throughout the day. Tan Tock Seng Hospital, Khoo Teck Puat Hospital and Yishun Hospital will operate visiting hours from 10am to 9pm, broadening the window from current schedules.
The extended hours will be maintained consistently across all days of the week, including weekends and public holidays, providing family members and caregivers with increased flexibility in planning visits. This move reflects efforts by Singapore's healthcare sector to enhance patient support through improved access for loved ones.
The three hospitals serve different areas across the island and collectively handle a significant portion of patient admissions. The extended visiting hours are expected to benefit patients recovering from treatment and those requiring ongoing family support during their hospital stays.
