The Accident and Emergency (A&E) department assesses and treats people with various emergencies, providing immediate care for individuals of all age groups.
The A&E services at Gleneagles Hospitals, Pantai Hospitals, Prince Court Medical Centre, Timberland Medical Centre and Island Hospital are available 24/7, ensuring that expert medical care is always accessible.
In emergency situations, it is crucial to call an ambulance or head directly to the nearest A&E department for immediate medical attention, as every second counts.
All our A&E departments are equipped to treat and assess all types of serious illnesses and injuries, including medical, surgical, and trauma cases.
Immediate access to X-rays, scans, and lab tests is available. The doctors, nurses and medical staff within the department are well-trained and up to date with current evidence-based medicine to be clinically competent in providing high quality patient care.
Our A&E departments offer timely assessment and treatment for various emergencies and have the ability to diagnose, resuscitate and treat critically ill patients. Priority is given to cases that require immediate care such as acute stroke, sepsis and heart attack, among others
Triage, a system to safely categorise cases based on clinical acuity, is used to ensure patients receive timely clinical care.
Upon arrival at the A&E department, patients are triaged based on their clinical condition by a Triage Nurse.
The A&E department is part of a larger network of hospital services, including on-call specialists in surgery, obstetrics and gynaecology, general medicine, cardiac care, neurology (and many other specialties) and diagnostic services such as labs and radiology.
This integrated approach ensures high quality and safe clinical care.
