At the Emergency Department, priority will be given to patients with life-threatening emergencies and more serious conditions who require immediate care. For patients with conditions assessed to be non-urgent, please note the waiting times may be longer and the estimated times are as below.
If you are unsure whether you should visit our Emergency Department for your medical condition, simply call the NurseFirst Helpline at 6262 6262.
Alternatively, you may book a same-day consultation here at your nearest GP or polyclinic to seek medical treatment for non-emergency conditions.
Ng Teng Fong General Hospital is a member of the NUHS healthcare cluster, therefore patients may also be admitted to Alexandra Hospital under the cluster based on their conditions and diagnosis, as determined by doctors.
The transfer is made via an ambulance and at no extra cost to the patient.
We are in the midst of upgrading our system to show current waiting times. Please refer to the two charts below as an estimate if you still plan to visit the Emergency Department.
