Depending on the patient’s individual circumstances during admission, the patient may be required to carry out additional tests. The relevant charges shall be borne by the patient.
All outpatients should conduct RAT before consultation for triage purposes. Outpatients should conduct the RAT at their homes on the day of the consultation. On completion, please write the patient’s name, testing date, and testing time next to the testing result, and then take a photo with a mobile phone.

How to lessen the burden of medical expenses?
You may fall sick or get injured at any stage of life. But the cost of medical care at private hospitals can be exorbitant. How can we lessen the burden of medical expenses?
You may consider enrolling in VHIS for yourself and your family to transfer the financial burden of medical care to an insurance company. The Voluntary Health Insurance Scheme reimburses the insured for medical costs, whereby the insurance company shares the insured’s medical expenses incurred from illness or injury, thus reducing the huge financial burden faced by the insured when receiving treatment at a private hospital.
2. How to enjoy the shuttle bus service?
This hospital does not provide shuttle bus service.
