General Outpatient Department

The General Outpatient Department provides consultation, diagnosis and treatment for a range of medical conditions and minor injuries. Laboratory and imaging investigations are available during the same visit where clinically indicated.

Following registration, all patients undergo triage as part of the initial assessment process. Patients are then directed to the appropriate clinic, service point or consultation area according to their presenting condition and care needs. Patients identified as requiring urgent or emergency attention are promptly escalated for appropriate care.

The department provides:

• General medical consultations for new illnesses and minor injuries
• Follow-up care for chronic conditions.
• Minor procedures, including wound dressing, suturing, and incision and drainage
• Laboratory tests and imaging investigations, where clinically indicated
• Access to prescribed medicines and medication counselling through the pharmacy
• Referral to specialist clinics and higher-level healthcare facilities
