StarMed Specialist Centre provides one-stop ambulatory care

Wed, Apr 10, 2019 - 5:50 AM

"StarMed taps into this growing global trend towards procedures being done outside of the traditional hospital setting. Surgeries such as knee replacements, which once required several days stay in a hospital, can now be performed safely overnight in ambulatory care centres, says Ms Chin.In Singapore, the number of surgical procedures done came to over 800,000 in 2016 with day procedures contributing to about 37 per cent of the total.

"Patients can see a specialist doctor, immediately get their diagnostic tests done on-site, and if needed can undergo an endoscopy or surgical procedure all within the same day. At StarMed, patients can undergo elective surgical procedures during the day and recover at home if overnight observation is not required. In addition, there may be less risk of infection in an ambulatory care centre as opposed to a hospital setting," says Ms Chin.

Ms Chin says that StarMed's multi-disciplinary team of specialists doctors are supported by a medical centre, diagnostic and interventional radiology centre, day surgery centre and endoscopy centre that enables patients to be diagnosed and treated within one day. StarMed's Day Surgery Centre is a one-stop centre that caters to a variety of surgical procedures that do not require admission into the hospital.
