The Children's Emergency at National University Hospital, provides services 24 hours a day for 365 days a year and ensures that children will be seen in a clinical setting that focuses on their special needs.
Children suffering from trauma, medical and surgical conditions are treated by a team of doctors, nurses and support staff specially trained to work with children in an environment that caters to their special needs. Any child with a problem is seen and receives prompt care - regardless of whether it is a minor cut or major trauma, a slight viral fever or a severe pneumonia.
The Children's Emergency Service is part of University Children's Medical Institute's determination to provide seamless comprehensive medical care to the children in the western cluster. We work closely with consultants in all the various paediatric subspecialties to ensure that children receive the best possible care regardless of how complex their problems may be.
It is located next to the adult Emergency Department and has been specially designed with child-friendly amenities complemented with bright and cheery decoration/ mural.
Apart from the warm and friendly interior, caregivers of our paediatric patients can expect smoother service with numbered stations that make navigation around the Children’s Emergency easier. There is also an electronic queue system that allows automated allocation of doctor to patients.
Paediatric patients can also engage themselves with activities such as coloring in the Children’s Emergency while they wait for investigations or while they are under observations.
