'''Changi General Hospital''' ([[Abbreviation]]: '''CGH'''; [[Simplified Chinese|Chinese]]: 樟宜综合医院) is the largest [[hospital]] in the eastern region of [[Singapore]].
==History==
Changi General Hospital's present building at [[Simei]] was officially opened on [[28 March]] [[1998]]. It was formed as a result of an amalgamation of two hospitals rich in history, the [[Changi Hospital]] and the [[Toa Payoh Hospital]], the latter of which was the direct predecessor of the medical institution. The hospital can therefore trace its roots back to June 1957, when the [[Thomson Road Hospital]] began construction, and which was to eventually evolve into its present state.
As a result of a restructuring exercise in the local heathcare scene, the hospital became a member of the [[Singapore Health Services Private Limited|Singapore Health Services]] in 2000.
