Day care treatment is also called daycare procedure. It is a technically advanced treatment that can be completed within a few hours. It does not require the insured person to stay at the hospital for a long time. Also, this type of treatment or procedure does not require hospitalisation for 24 hours. A few day care procedures include dialysis, chemotherapy, tonsillectomy, cataract surgery, dental surgery (following an accident), and many others.

The Day Care Ward is specially designed for patients who require a short stay of several hours before and after surgery or procedures. It provides one-stop service, including pre-operative assessment or preparation, post-operative nursing care and recovery, and other minor procedures such as intravenous infusion or post-radiological procedure recovery.

Most day surgery patients are suitable for admission into this day care ward. They can recover quickly from a short stay and benefit from paying less than an inpatient bed.

The following patients are welcome to use the Day Care Ward:

• Most day surgery patients
• To be discharged in 2 - 3 hours after surgery / procedure
• Have no anticipated complications
• Require no close observation / monitoring or substantial nursing care
