“I’m most excited about the rooftop garden as it will allow rehabilitation to be done in the lush of greenery. The space has been designed to allow for rehabilitation activities such as walking, wheelchair mobility, training on how to get onto a bus safely, moving within an MRT cabin and so on. There will also be a space meant for patients to do gardening, under the supervision of a therapist. We hope that such activities will motivate patients to go outdoors and interact with one another.”
