For our patients

The EMD operates as a 24-hour, high-volume centre, providing care for over 100,000 patients annually. We accurately diagnose and thoroughly treat a wide range of emergencies, ensuring the highest standards of safety and value in our services. 

These emergency cases range from common threats such as infections, heart attacks, strokes and motor-vehicle accidents, to less frequent situations like rare genetic diseases and toxic poisonings. With our team of emergency experts, supported by a comprehensive in-house roster of other specialties, patients can trust that they receive the best medical care.

For our students and trainees 

As an internationally accredited (ACGME-I) Emergency Medicine specialty training site, we offer excellent postgraduate specialist training. Serving as the anchoring department for the NUS Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, we establish a strong foundation in emergency care. 

Our impact on medical education is reflected in our department's textbook, "Guide to the Essentials in Emergency Medicine". A distillation of our emergency specialists' combined expertise, it has gained acclaim in the region among undergraduate students and postgraduate clinicians. 

Opportunities for training abound for learners at all stages—specialists, fellows, non-specialists and students.
