Parkway Trust Management Limited as manager of Parkway Life Real Estate Investment Trust (PLife REIT) together with IHH Healthcare Singapore are jointly announced the commencement of major refurbishment and upgrading works at the Mount Elizabeth Hospital named "Project Renaissance". The exciting SGD 350 million "Project Renaissance", jointly funded by IHH Healthcare Singapore and PLife REIT, will span three years and will see to retrofit and rejuvenate MEH's landmark facility along Singapore's Orchard Road. The extensive refurbishment works would enable the transformation of the medical institution into a modern and integrated multiservice hub that provides patients with greater convenience, privacy and seamless care, boasting a brand new look to MEH's public-facing areas with a new and refreshed drop-off point and lobby.

On top of equipment and technology upgrades, future- proofing and significant infrastructure improvements will also be made on the mechanical, electrical and fire protection systems in compliance with the latest building codes and fire safety regulations. Importantly, MEH's clinical assets and back room will be significantly redesigned around the needs of patients and staff while ensuring better connectivity, safety and privacy in an effort to enhance the Mount E `experience' for everyone. Expansions will be made to the hospital's Emergency Department and inpatient and outpatient treatment centres, even as improvements to ward configurations are carried out for better workflow, comfort and overall patient experience.

The works will take place in phases so that major clinical services can continue. To minimise disruptions, services may be temporarily relocated to other parts of the building or where necessary, decanted to MEH's sister hospitals under IHH Healthcare Singapore. Noisy works will be limited to specific timings as well.
