Women's Emergency Care

Women’s Emergency Care provides direct primary clinical care for women with acute obstetric and gynecological problems and newborns with a range of neonatal conditions. The service is available 24 hours a day.

We are a patient-centered department with our focus on the clinical wellbeing of our patients whilst recognizing and supporting the other aspects of care, e.g. psychological, psychosocial, social, and socioeconomic. This requires extensive liaising and co-ordination with varying departments within the hospital, e.g. WSSS, CASA, Mental Health.

The Women's Emergency Service provides the following services:

Immediate assessment and intervention for women with conditions relating specifically to Maternity and Women's Health. For example, assessment of bleeding in early pregnancy, pelvic pain, breast conditions, emergency contraception, and abnormal vaginal bleeding
Gynecological care of women across the spectrum of age
Sexual Assault support services to CASA providing clinical support (medical and / or nursing / midwifery)
A Short Stay Ward (Assessment Centre) for monitoring, assessing women in early labor, and antenatal conditions, and gynecological conditions requiring short term treatment
An Early Pregnancy Assessment Service (EPAS) has been established to provide a coordinated and specialised care of the woman experiencing pain / bleeding in Early Pregnancy.
