Our Emergency Medicine Team

The Emergency Department in SGH is one of the busiest in Singapore. We understand that when emergencies strike, every second counts. Our priority is ensuring that patients in critical need receive the prompt care that they deserve.

Before visiting our emergency department, we kindly ask that you consider the urgency of your situation. For non-urgent medical needs, we encourage you to seek assistance from other healthcare providers within our network, ensuring that our emergency team can focus on those who need immediate and critical care.

Children Below 12 Years Old

In SGH, we do not have the facilities to treat young patients. Our paediatricians are stationed at KKH. Usually before sending young patients over, we will stabilize their condition first.

You do not need to come to the Emergency Department if your condition is mild. Please visit your nearest GP or consider alternative care options.
