SINGAPORE - The bed crunch in public hospitals is so severe that it has spilled over to their emergency departments, many of which stay packed with patients because there is no room to move them elsewhere.

Emergency department (ED) doctors say there are days when the situation is so bad that an ambulance arriving is unable to discharge the patient for lack of space. Instead, the medical team has to assess the patients while they are on the ambulance trolley.

Those who are in critical condition are treated immediately. Others might have to wait 15 to 30 minutes for space to be found so that they can be offloaded and the ambulance can leave.

The Straits Times spoke to several ED doctors and nurses, who asked that they and their hospitals not be identified. They say the problem has been around for years, but has become worse this year, partly on account of the surge in Covid-19 cases.

Is it a shortage of beds or hospital staff... or a sudden increase in the number of patients?

Not going to happen after the construction (and ongoing construction) of 40-plus storeys flats and condos.

Even open air carparks are becoming endangered. The latest notable casualty is the one across the road from Orchard Cineleisure. It will become the 313 Somerset mall extension.

In 10-15yrs, they'll need to build another 10 hospitals... The old farts population will tripled. Many will be wandering around void decks aimlessly n there will be more fights @ coffee shops...
