TTSH requires all inpatients to be swabbed on admission, as well as on a regular schedule during their stay and before they are discharged. In addition, the hospital proactively monitors and tests all inpatients who develop fever or acute respiratory infection symptoms.
In line with MOH’s latest advisory, in-person visits to all hospital wards will continue to be suspended until 3 April 2022 (inclusive). Visitors who are allowed into hospitals wards on an exceptional basis will need to produce a valid negative antigen rapid test (ART) result obtained within the last 24 hours of the visit. All tests are to be self-funded. This is a mandatory requirement for all visitors regardless of vaccination status, except for persons who have recovered from COVID-19 and are able to present a valid Pre-Event Test (PET) exemption notice.
Fully vaccinated or medically ineligible visitors can perform an unsupervised self-administered ART or opt for an ART administered or supervised by MOH-approved COVID-19 test providers (including tests performed at Quick Test Centres) to fulfil the pre-visit testing requirement.
Non-fully vaccinated visitors would be required to show results of ART administered or supervised by MOH-approved COVID-19 test providers (including Quick Test Centres). Results from unsupervised self-administered ART will not be accepted for this group of visitors.
TTSH provides emergency services, inpatient services and specialist outpatient services. Over 30 medical services, including urology, neurology, haematology, cardiology and endocrinology, are available at the specialist clinics at the TTSH Medical Centre. This hospital also offers a full range of radiological services, covering diagnostic and imaging-guided therapeutic procedures.
Patients scheduled for elective surgery and endoscopy procedures will be referred to TTSH’s Pre-Admission Counselling and Evaluation (PACE) services at Basement 2, TTSH Medical Centre. The patient will be given all the essential information regarding the proposed procedure or surgery.
Pre-operative evaluation and tests will be conducted to ensure that the patient is fit for the proposed surgery. Financial counselling and information on the estimated bill size will also be provided.
