Huh .. how does this show CGH to be SAF hospital? Also, nsf go govt hospital AE should be free also ,whether you are in uniform or without. Correct me if I'...

Time for one ?

I don't think its ideal to send SAF troops , when dying/injured to a civilian hospital , should be a designated place/area whereby they should have a proper and huge military hospital , with helipads and airfied .

Where to build? Is there a need for it?

laurence82 SG

SMAPLionHeart SG

Icemoon SG

Haha .. how many types of injuries you can have? Big bullet holes, broken arms, spilled intestine .. military injury is about trauma but medics or ccp should handle it.

SingaporeMacross SG

maybe they can use the MASH…

Shotgun SG

Anyways, I heard SGH is usually chosen instead of CGH cos of the facilities and personnel at SGH are more equipped to handle wider variety of cases.

Dont forget the helipad too!

Hello, did you know the figure of how many troops need hospital treatment per day during peace time ?

So let see you are proposing that you build a big hospital full of doctors and nurses with all brand new equipment, just to treat a few training injured few ?

If in war time, this hospital is of no use ! why ? because war time, there is requirement of field hospital which is where the war is so they can treat injured soldiers fast. In war time, there will not be enough ambulances or helicopters to even air lift the injuried to a hospital that way back. Also if that hospital is 100% a military hospital, that may make it a very clear target for enemy to destory it or destory it.

U never hear of Combat Surgical Hospitals?

Army is more than guns and tanks. We have DISCOM and other support units which are activated when needed. During times of peace no need to set up what ppl commonly call MASH units although they train as hard as any other combat ready unit.

I know there's field camp and whatever , but there should specifically built hospital for all NS-men , just imagine the hassle a serviceman has to go through , even if an enemy strikes during war , it will leave SGH alone.

Remember the hospital massacre in Singapore by the japanese during WWII?
If we were to keep the civilian hospital away from military hospital
then most likely , the civilian hospital will be spared from a massacre

A field hospital may not be ideal and have all the equipment ready , there are many forms of sickness and illness , serviceman can suffer from , a field hospital may not be have equipment able to handle troops who might be suffering from gas attack , to even something as simple as a bullet wound ,
or even be able to help a soldier whose leg has been blown off.

A military hospital would be able to cater specifically to the needs of soldiers , a soldier's welfare is the most important.

SMAPLionHeart SG

Then you want enemy to airstrike it ?
SGH?

Just imagine the amount of casualties during wartime , civilians inside and fighting with soldiers for spaces??

It's endangering the lives of civilians as well..

We need not build it in such a way , you put the words "'MILITARY HOSPITAL" on top and make it visible for the enemy to see it from his fighter jet,duh

For example , a field hospital , even during wartime , might not be able to handle the large amount of soldiers who would be injured , even if they are, i doubt their ability to shelter the injured troops ...

Those field hospitals can't shield the troops from heavy gunfire, when bombs start raining down upon it , i don't think its safe for them .

A field hospital would also be vulnerable , since enemy knows that the troops inside are injured , we can also have a underground medical facility as well.

It's also unsafe to keep injured troops at the battleground , better if they were safely inside a medical facility , how many % of troops can fight after surviving a bullet round, rifles are getting stronger ...? so its better to bring them back to SG as well..

Even if you did managed to treat those troops at your field hospital , you are going to waste manpower to guard your field hospital , cause most likely it will be a hindrance when the troops are planning to advance , troops who are injured are also more likely to be demoralised as well.

in case of large casualty during training, the civilian hospital is destinated to take on them, and to spread the load if possible to the rest… if epidemic starts, one hospital is reserved.

SMAPLionHeart SG

What im concerned with is that , during wartime , military soldiers will be injured and civilians will definitely be injured .

1 represents the lifeblood of the country , another 1 represents the safety of the country. Who would you treat first?

Field hospitals are also out of the question , 21st century warfare has opened up a wide spectrum of evil possibilities that the enemy might use , a field hospital might not be equipped with the necessary equipment and will be very vulnerable , since it stay puts during wartime and has little/no shield at all.

Thereby , opening up the possibility of a underground military hospital

u CAt 1 cleared yet? else cannot tell u so much Sad

City Harvest Church's auditorium , which is built 4 Storeys underground costs $48 million dollars and has a 2,000 people capacity.

Our Government has a defense budget of $9 billion dollars .

So the problem does not lies with the cost , but whether they are willing to do it...

SMAPLionHeart SG

Not to mention those medics are in a war zone and are already feeling stressed , how to operate on injured troops? , with the advent of specially built hospitals , medical workers can work at ease , so in my opinion , a underground military hospital is way to go , after all , RSAF dominates the skies , and singapore has so many helicopters that it could even spare some to other countries like Philippines , so there shouldn’t be any problems.

airfield? LOL! Laughing
