Dealing with Clinical Information

Medical Specialists
During your stay in the Hospital, you will be attended to by a team of Doctors comprising medical specialists, assisted by Duty medical Officer.

Consent Form
By coming to the Hospital, you have given tacit agreement to general treatment, which may be required for your condition. Certain procedures, for example, operations, would require your specific consent in writing.
Before you sign a consent form, our staff will explain to you the nature of the procedure and ensure that you have understood what is involved.

Updates on your Medical Condition
Your medical records and information on your medical condition are 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 Sister in Charge for a convenient time to meet the Consultant. However, as it is not possible for our Consultant to update all your family members who may visit you at different times, we request that you appoint one member to be the liaison to discuss any issue with the doctor.

Leaving the Hospital Premises
As your safety and well-being is our utmost concern; we advise that you remain within the Hospital premises until you are discharged by your Consultant. If you have to leave the ward for any reason, please inform the Sister in Charge.

Patient who request to be discharged against Consultant advice will be required to sign a DAMA (Discharge Against Medical Advice) form.
