WH Otolaryngology (ENT)
We provide comprehensive medical and surgical care for conditions affecting the ear, nose, throat, and the head and neck region, ranging from common disorders to complex cases. 
Overview

The Department of Otolaryngology provides a comprehensive range of both general and specialised medical and surgical services tailored to conditions affecting the Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) as well as the head and neck region. Allied health services such as Audiology and Speech Therapy are available within the clinic premises to complement other medical services.


Our Services

We provide 24/7 on-site emergency services for urgent Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) conditions, including airway obstruction, severe nosebleeds, deep neck infections and abscesses, foreign bodies in the airway or ear, nose and throat, and facial trauma. Our team is equipped to deliver rapid assessment and prompt surgical intervention whenever needed.

Beyond emergency care, we run specialist outpatient clinics offering same-day services such as endoscopic examinations of the nose and throat, ear procedures under microscopy, hearing assessments, and minor surgical interventions. Allergy testing and advanced smell testing are also available within our clinic.

Our surgical services cover a comprehensive range of elective procedures — from minimally invasive operations that improve breathing, hearing, and quality of life, to technology-assisted treatments such as laser surgery, hypoglossal nerve stimulation, and cochlear implantation. We also perform a broad spectrum of general ENT surgeries, including functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS), thyroid and salivary gland surgery, and complex neck dissections for cancer care.

In addition, we offer specialised expertise in central and lateral skull base surgery, septorhinoplasty, and facial reconstruction, restoring both function and form for our patients.
