Clinical-Related Information

Consultant-based Care

We practise team-based approach consultation, a common practice in public hospitals.

During your stay with us, you will be attended to by a team of doctors comprising specialists assisted by Residents and Senior Residents.

Consent Form

By coming to the Hospital, you have given general agreement to general diagnostic procedures and treatment which may be required for your condition. You are required to give specific consent to all invasive procedures and surgeries.

Before you sign on a consent form, our staff will explain to you the nature of the procedure/surgery to ensure that you have understood what is involved.

Updates on Your Medical Condition

Your details and medical records are kept confidential. We will only share this information with you and your next-of-kin. If your immediate family members wish to know more about your condition, they can approach the nurse-in-charge to arrange for a convenient time to meet the doctor. However, as it is not possible for our doctor to update all your family members who visit you at different times, you may wish to appoint one family member to be the representative to discuss any issue with the doctor.

Leaving the Hospital Premises

We advise that you remain within the hospital premises until you are discharged by your doctor. If you have to leave the ward for any reason, please inform the nurse-in-charge. 

Patients who wish to be discharged against a doctor's advice would be required to sign an AOR (At Own Risk) form.
