Therefore, the team created isolation-use wards that can be immediately converted to EGH to hold bed surges in the event of a pandemic. “
Running spaces can be immediately separated from one another and innovative work arrangements may be supported in the event of a pandemic, without having to change major ; network changes.
” Next, EGH will be digitally enabled from the start. It will be well-equipped with an IT network that has been created and integrated right from the beginning,” said Mr. Ong.
