NUH has been coping with an average occupancy of over 90% while the KTPH has been struggling with occupancy rates of over 95%.

These figures, which are for the week of August 16, showed that on the worst day of the week, half the patients had to wait more than 15.6 hours to be admitted to a ward a KTPH. THIS IS FROM THE TIME DOCTOR DECIDES THE PATIENT NEEDS TO BE WARDED, AND NOT FROM THE TIME THE PATIENT IS FIRST ADMITTED TO THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT
 
tell us something we never hear before lah
Something new that you can find out on your own. Go during visiting hour. Scrutinize the name plate outside each ward. If in doubt, go in and take a peep at the face of the patient. You may get a new surprise on the proportion of "indigenous " Sg occupying the bed. Rest assured most are already citizen or at least pr.
 
PM , GKY and Ministers will tell you to be grateful it is only less than 24 hrs. In many countries you dont even have a chance to consult doctors.

That is really long wait overnight. PAP got any benchmark against world standard for this waiting time?
