The hospital’s colonial-style buildings were constructed in the late 1930s on 110,000 square metres (1,200,000 sq ft) of land.  Established in 1938 as the British Military Hospital, the facility served as the principal military hospital of the British Far East Command.

In its heyday, Alexandra Hospital was an institution that adopted cutting-edge medical technology and in 1975 became the first hospital in Southeast Asia to successfully perform limb re-attachment to a patient.

Following the gradual downsizing and withdrawal of the British military presence in Singapore, the hospital was handed over to the government of Singapore on 11 September 1971 and renamed Alexandra Road General Hospital.

Alexander Hospital is the first healthcare institution in Singapore and Asia Pacific to use Google Glass headsets, a wearable technology that provides doctors with real-time information, allowing them to join home visits virtually and to diagnose patients immediately.

This technology records consultation with patients and showcases how clinicians can benefit from hands-free, voice-controlled access to critical data while in the operating room or on-the-go in the hospital.

Nurses who do home visits can use the Google Glass device, which has a camera and microphone integrated into the headset, to pick up visual and sound respectively. The data captured allows doctors in hospitals to get real-time feed and they can instruct nurses to do more checks on the patients. The glasses free the nurses’ hands to examine more easily and patients can clarify their medical questions instantly.
