Here's what happened.

Facebook user Mee Pok Tah said his wife had been sent to the hospital after bleeding profusely while in the shower on March 15. The couple arrived at NUH at about 10.30pm.

"During the ED triage, her vital signs were within normal parameters. She indicated she was experiencing mild pain, and was assessed as 2/10 on the pain score by our nurses. "She waited for two hours and this should not have been the case in this circumstance, and we are sorry. During this time, we should have done more to provide closer monitoring and care, as well as to update the patient of her condition and the transfer."

"It has been challenging to maintain the hospital’s high standards for care amidst the Covid-19 outbreak given the high numbers of patients admitting into the hospital for both emergent Covid-19 and non-Covid clinical conditions.
