Indoors and outdoors, the face of Singapore General Hospital is changing through the placement of artworks and the creation of healing oasis for patients and staff. This involved getting our designers to transform courtyards and gardens into soothing outdoor retreats with water features and painting uplifting murals on institutional walls to making patients visits less stressful for them and their families. These peaceful sanctuaries provide quiet respite for patients, families and staff and also promote health and well-being.
