St Luke's Hospital, Singapore

St Luke's Hospital is a community hospital in Singapore that provides professional healthcare services. It was named after the patron saint of the medical profession, St Luke. St Luke's Hospital for the Elderly Sick was registered as a voluntary welfare organisation in the Registry of Societies in October 1991. It was renamed as St Luke's hospital in September 2004 to signify the hospital's role as a community hospital while retaining its focus on geriatric care. The idea of setting up community hospital was first mooted by a group of Christian doctors and nurses after a report from the Advisory Council on the Aged in 1988 raised important issues concerning the lack of adequate elderly care facilities in Singapore. A projection of the number of facilities and resources needed to provide adequate healthcare services to Singapore's ageing population in 2030 revealed serious shortfalls. In response to the problem of inadequate healthcare facilities for the elderly, a group of 8 churches and Christian organisations including the Graduate Christian Fellowship and the Singapore Nurses' Christian Fellowship came together to set up St Luke's Hospital for the Elderly Sick. St Luke's Hospital is headed by a board of directors and various committees that oversee the daily operations of the hospital.
==Opposition to the construction of St Luke's Hospital==
The groundbreaking ceremony for St Luke's Hospital took place on 6 March 1993 at the site along Bukit Batok Street 11.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Significant Milestones )〕 Minister of Parliament (MP) for Bukit Batok and patron of the hospital Dr Ong Chit Chung officiated at the ground-breaking ceremony. Dr Ong was also the parliament secretary for Home Affairs and Labour. At the ceremony, several residents staying in block 160, which was away from the hospital site, approached journalists to voice their concerns over the construction of the community hospital. The residents expressed concerns over the potential transmission of germs from the sick patients to their children. Also, there were concerns that the resale value of their flat would go down should the hospital be built.〔 Officials from the Ministry of Health (MOH) reassured the residents that the hospital facilities would not pose a health threat to the neighbourhood.They also reaffirmed that the patients in St Luke's will be warded for non-infectious diseases like high blood pressure, stroke or rheumatism.〔
In response, MP Dr Ong Chit Chung arranged for a dialogue session between the residents and representatives from MOH and the hospital. The dialogue session took place in March 1993 where residents directed their questions to a panel. The panel members included Dr Chen Ai Ju, the Deputy Director of Medical Services (Hospitals); Dr Clarence Tan, Director (Continuing Care); and Professor Lee Hin Peng, who was the head of Community, Occupational and Family Medicine and also vice-chairman of St Luke's Hospital. Other concerns raised during the dialogue included the increased noise and traffic levels that might come with the hospital. Dr Chen reassured the residents that the noise and traffic levels would be minimum compared to that of the emergency hospitals. Mr Michael Eng, chairman of the Bukit Batok Resident's Committee, organised tours for residents to visit the hospital to alleviate their fears.〔
