Nurses from the Singapore General Hospital (SGH) will sport a new uniform design come October. The SingHealth group will launch the new look on Aug 1, which is Nurses' Day.

More than 5000 professional nurses from the group's nine health-care institutions can look forward to a new look that sports SingHealth's corporate identity.

The new outfit promises better comfort and durability, at no extra cost. An SGH uniform on average costs $20 and was last commissioned in 1993.
