SINGAPORE — Sengkang General Hospital says it prioritises patients in emergency cases over the less serious ones, after an inpatient complained on TikTok that he had to buy painkillers via Foodpanda after waiting for almost two hours at the hospital for the medicine.
"SKH is committed to attending to every patient in a timely manner," it added. "Patients with less acute conditions may sometimes experience longer waiting times compared with those who are being treated for serious urgent and life-threatening emergencies." Filming himself collecting his painkillers from a Foodpanda delivery rider at the hospital lobby, he tells the rider, who appears surprised, about his situation. Hamid does not say how long it took for his delivery to arrive.
When contacted, Hamid, 55, said he was admitted for gangrene and an ulcer on his right heel on Sept 11.
