SINGAPORE - Accident and emergency departments at public hospitals nationwide offer adequate services to manage all life-threatening emergencies, Senior Minister of State for Law and Health Edwin Tong told Parliament on Monday .
The accident in December last year left two women dead and another four injured. All were Filipino domestic helpers. Mr Tong said MOH has had ongoing discussions with the private hospitals about their capabilities in handling emergency care. Ms Pereira asked whether MOH would consider requiring all private and public hospitals to be equipped to handle severe and multiple trauma cases in their A&E departments, and if there are enough emergency specialists here.
