Our team of internal medicine physicians, each with diverse sub-specialty training, provides integrated clinical care for patients dealing with a wide spectrum of diseases, especially those with undifferentiated or multi-system disease processes.

Inpatient services

We have Acute Assessment Unit (AAU), a ward dedicated to provide acute care to patients with undifferentiated conditions that require rapid stabilization and early interventions. We work closely with the surgical teams and relocate our patients to appropriate wards after initial management.

We also have Ambulatory Medical Care (AMC), a service aimed at preventing lengthy hospitalisation for conditions that are amenable to ambulatory management. It is based on the Ambulatory Emergency Care model successfully developed in the U.K.

Additionally, we provide general medical, perioperative and thrombosis consultation services to other departments in the hospital.
