The Department of Medicine is committed to providing holistic care and delivering quality health service to our patients. Currently, the Department has 10 subspecialty teams, including Cardiology, Endocrinology, Diabetes & Metabolism, Gastroenterology & Hepatology, Geriatric Medicine, Haematology & Haematological Oncology, Nephrology, Neurology, Respiratory Medicine, Rheumatology and Infectious Disease, providing diversified services to our patients.
To meet the growing healthcare needs of the community, the Department has actively expanded its services over the years. In 2013, we enhanced the Renal Centre, strengthening both inpatient and day dialysis services for renal patients. In 2015, we began providing training for patients to perform nocturnal home hemodialysis. Additionally, the Haematology-Oncology Ward, dedicated to hematological patients, commenced operations in 2020.
We have implemented various smart hospital initiatives to enhance service quality, including smart medication carts, e-vitals, and smart panels. Since 2021, we have also expanded our telehealth services, which now include teleconsultation, remote patient education, and tele-training for physiotherapy and occupational therapy.
