The hospital is located within the Singapore General Hospital campus.[2] On 21 May 2015, the hospital held its ground-breaking ceremony with the actual details unveiled. There will be 550 beds, of which 500 are for sub-acute patients with 50 beds for palliative care patients.[3] The hospital opened its doors on 7 December 2019, with the rest of the hospital opening fully over the next three years.[1] The SingHealth Tower and Outram Community Hospital held their opening ceremony on 24 January 2022, with a speech by Health Minister Ong Ye Kung.[4]
