The time has come to re-look the policy of no air-conditioning for subsidised wards (Singapore hospitals take steps to protect patients from haze, Sept 24; Air-con for subsidised wards: Debate gets another airing, Sept 29).

It is frustrating to go to a hospital and see this separation - it is almost like a rich-poor divide.
It is time for the Government to fix it. The authorities should ensure that every patient enjoys the same comfort and quality care in public hospitals.
