The service at this hospital is excellent. The doctors I saw here were Dr. Kanddy, Dr. Doris, and Dr. Soon, and they were all very professional and kind. I come here three times a week to have my wounds dressed. Nurse Asyitah and Ms. Zhu are very meticulous in taking care of my wounds. Every time I come, they are very kind, and their technique for cleaning wounds is excellent. My wounds are healing better and better. I am very grateful to have met these doctors and nurses, who are like angels, from the beginning. I am a cancer patient, and from the start, the doctors diligently taught me how to manage my diet and my body. Here, I truly want to thank all the doctors and nurses who have taken care of me. Their care and companionship have deeply touched me and filled me with gratitude.

Ward 5C.. (SN Anith, SN Haya, SN Valar, PCA Umairah) Dr Soon KC.. I was admitted to Ward 5C on 21/4 due to gallstones. After the operation, I was very weak, unable to walk, and dizzy. Nurses accompanied me to the restroom. Throughout my stay in the ward, all staff, including SN Anith, SN Haya, SN Valar, and PCA Umairah, were very helpful, responsive, and always concerned about my condition. Dr. Soon KC was also very professional and clear in his explanations. Thank you for the excellent care.
