Old Changi Hospital started life as a camp for Royal Engineers in the 1930s. It was converted for use as a hospital in 1947 to serve the Royal Air Force (RAF) Station Changi. It was one of the RAF’s best medical facilities. Among other things, patients appreciated its proximity to the sea. Heritage blogger and author Jerome Lim, who has collaborated with SLA for the Discovering Singapore’s Best Kept Secrets series of State property tours, will walk you through the history of the former hospital and point out architectural features that worked well for patient care and recovery.
