The Repossession of Kwong Wai Shiu Hospital

The authorities are repossessing a large parcel of land from this charity-hospital. It's really sad.

Kwong Wai Shiu Hospital (Chinese: 廣惠肇留医院; pinyin: Guǎng Huì Zhào liú yīyuàn) is a private hospital in Singapore. It opened in 1910.

Kwong Wai Shiu Hospital (KWSH) is a charitable organization committed to providing quality healthcare to the sick and needy in Singapore. With a staff strength of more than 200 employees, KWSH occupies 14 blocks in a 6-acre (24,000 m²) compound. Their facilities include an In-patient Department (IPD), an Out-patient Department (OPD), a Day Rehabilitation Centre (DRC) and a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Centre.

Most of their patients come from the lower-income families whose hospital charges are subsidized by KWSH. They are therefore heavily dependent on the public's support and donations to meet their annual operating expenses of about S$16 Million. Therefore, donations are greatly appreciated.

To serve their clients better, they have adopted Total Quality Management (TQM) to improve their standards of care and customer service. In May 2006, they were awarded ISO 9001:2008 accreditation in areas of provision of In-patient Care, Out-patient care and Day Rehabilitation including Medical Services, Nursing Services and Para-medical Services.
