Single room guaranteed at Mount Elizabeth Novena Hospital!

It has been 16 years since a hospital in Singapore opened up a new maternity ward to cater to the needs of new mums and their precious bundles of joy.

The new Mount Elizabeth Novena Hospital was the first to break this ‘dry spell’ by unveiling a brand new maternity ward in March this year.

Boasting of an all-single-room setup, mums-to-be can now welcome their newborns comfortably in the privacy of their own rooms during their stay at Mount Elizabeth Novena Hospital.

We were invited last month to check out the new maternity ward at Mount Elizabeth Novena Hospital.

A look at the delivery suite

For expectant mums who will be delivering at Mount Elizabeth Novena Hospital, this will be your first pit-stop after checking in. As you can see, all delivery rooms are brightly-lit and have been thoughtfully designed to provide a soothing experience during the long labour process.

Meeting the rising demands of single rooms

Over the years, there has been an increased demand of mums opting for single rooms at Mount Elizabeth Hospital (the sister hospital of Mount Elizabeth Novena):

Over 50% of mums delivering at Mouth Elizabeth Hospital were placed in single rooms. In 2013, this shot up to over 80%.

Thus, the new 12-room maternity ward at Mount Elizabeth Novena Hospital will definitely help to meet this rising demand. Thanks to its all-single-room setup, Mount Elizabeth Novena will be the only hospital in Singapore that guarantees a single-room experience, to date.

A natural progression

Many doctors and expectant mums have welcomed the move of Mount Elizabeth Novena Hospital to have an all-single-room setup in the maternity ward.

According to Dr Kelvin Loh, Chief Executive Officer of Mount Elizabeth Novena Hospital, the new addition of a maternity ward is "a natural extension of the hospital’s existing expertise and capabilities" in Obstetrics & Gynaecology (O & G), and a great move towards improving the hospital’s suite of service.
