Ng Teng Fong General Hospital (NTFGH) started to see walk-in cases and some Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) ambulances in June 2015. From 3 Sep, as part of NTFGH’s gradual ramp up of operations, NTFGH will receive all ambulance cases sent by Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) within the supported region.

2 This arrangement is expected to better manage the load of SCDF ambulance cases at hospitals such as National University Hospital (NUH) and Khoo Teck Puat Hospital. It will also benefit the patients in the Western and immediate North Western Regions by increasing their accessibility to emergency services where this is needed.

3 For certain types of cases such as major trauma, heart attack and acute stroke cases, SCDF would continue to convey them to NUH for treatment.
