WH Advanced Internal Medicine
Advanced Internal Medicine is the medical specialty dealing with the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of wide variety of clinical conditions.
Our team of internal medicine physicians have had diverse sub-specialty training that enables an integrated clinical care of patients with wide spectrum of diseases, especially those with undifferentiated or multi-system disease processes.
We have Acute Assessment Unit (AAU), a ward dedicated to provide acute care to patients with undifferentiated conditions that require rapid stabilization and early interventions. We work closely with the surgical teams and relocate our patients to appropriate wards after initial management.
We also have Ambulatory Medical Care (AMC), a service aimed at preventing lengthy hospitalisation for conditions that are amenable to ambulatory management. It is based on the Ambulatory Emergency Care model successfully developed in the U.K.
