Tan Tock Seng Hospital (TTSH) and SKH are working together to optimise care for patients with severe traumatic injuries. Dr Kam Juinn Huar, Consultant, Department of General Surgery, SKH, mentioned that the shared expertise and resources achieved from the collaboration will enhance the efficiency of care delivery as SKH continues to develop its trauma services in preparation for the hospital's opening this year. Protocols are also being worked out on where patients in the central and north-east regions should be sent in the event of a critical emergency. The collaboration was announced at the two-day Singapore Trauma and Acute Care Conference, which started on Friday (April 20).
