Farrer Park Hospital

Farrer Park Hospital (Abbreviation: FPH) is a private tertiary healthcare institution in Farrer Park, Singapore. Located above the Farrer Park MRT station at the "Connexion" building, the hospital has a capacity of 220 beds across four inpatient suites and 18 operating theaters including major surgery, cardiovascular and endoscopic suites. FPH is interconnected with the Farrer Park Medical Centre, where there are 10 floors of suites for over 200 medical specialists, as well as One Farrer Hotel.
Equipped with smart systems, the hospital is built to be future-proof. Doctors have electronic tablets and/or phones linked to the hospital systems, allowing them to get real-time updates of patients' scans and test results. This also helps them in ordering medication for patients on the go. Technology is woven into "every facet of treatment and patient experience." Besides the technology aspect, the hospital design also combines nature and art with over 700 curated paintings and 15 gardens located steps away from the hospital's inpatient suites, offering patients the convenience of taking scenic walks while recuperating in the hospital.
Set up to offer a fresh approach to medical treatment, the hospital is home to various advanced medical technology and equipment. Notable treatments include the use of high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) to treat uterine fibroids and early-stage prostate cancer, Transurethral Microwave Thermotherapy (TUMT) to treat benign prostate hyperplasia, the enlargement of the prostate.
