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. ==External links== *[http://www.cgh.com.sg Changi General Hospital] {{commons|Changi General Hospital}} {{Singapore hospitals}} [[Category:Hospitals in Singapore]] [[Category:1998 establishments]] [[Category:Tampines]] [[Category:Simei]] {{Singapore-geo-stub}} {{hospital-stub}}
