The National University Hospital said on Jul. 13 that its Emergency Department is experiencing a high volume of patients.

The waiting time at the Emergency Department is expected to be longer.

For non-urgent cases, the waiting time could be as long as six hours.

Priority will be given to the life-threatening cases, such as persistent chest pain, or serious and/or multiple injuries.

The hospital urged those with non-critical conditions to seek medical attention from Public Health Preparedness Clinics (PHPCs) first.
