Published
A total of 28 out of 39 major hospitals across the country recorded an average waiting time of less than eight hours for admission to a ward from the emergency department. This information shows that a large majority of hospitals have succeeded in reducing the waiting time for patients who require further treatment.
Waiting time for ward admission refers to the period a patient spends in the emergency department before being transferred to a ward. This period is important because it can affect the comfort and safety of patients, particularly those in critical condition.
However, this report provides only a brief overview. Detailed information about hospitals that still record longer waiting times has not been disclosed in the original report. Therefore, the relevant authorities are expected to continue monitoring the situation to ensure that public health services remain effective.
In conclusion, the achievement of these 28 hospitals gives a positive picture of the performance of emergency services in Malaysia. Members of the public who need treatment at government hospitals are hopeful that they will continue to receive efficient services.
