KKH Children’s Emergency sees about 15,000 cases every month on average while the number is at 3,800 for NUH.
SINGAPORE: General practitioners are being trained to treat children with mild to moderate conditions under a new programme meant to divert less urgent cases away from two public paediatric emergency departments.
Children with life-threatening conditions are attended to first, and those assessed to have less severe ailments may have to wait longer for their turn. Common ailments include symptoms such as fever, cough, vomiting, diarrhoea, minor injuries and rashes, the statement added. “Time is especially crucial for those who come to our children's emergency with life-threatening conditions. If we are able to give them immediate treatment, it can actually save their lives.”
“It's pretty understandable that parents and caregivers may feel very anxious and concerned when their child is ill or is experiencing pain after an injury. But if you have a GP near you … they could be our go-to for symptoms that are mild or moderate,” he added.To ensure continuity of care, children who are referred to KKH or NUH’s Children’s Emergency by PaedsENGAGE GPs will be referred back to the same GP for follow-ups where required, the hospitals said in the statement.
