After having my sahur, I found myself in an unexpected situation – I needed to visit the Emergency Department at the Raja Isteri Pengiran Anak Saleha (RIPAS) Hospital due to a medical emergency.
As an expatriate, this was my first visit and I couldn’t help but feel anxious after hearing accounts of long waiting times and overcrowding.
To my relief, the waiting area was relatively empty when I arrived and I was called in shortly after registering. The triage nurse was not only efficient but also compassionate, promptly assessing my condition and ushering me to the observation area upon recognising the urgency of my case. I was admitted for a few hours while being closely monitored and by noon, I was back on my feet.
What truly stood out to me was the seamless process and the professionalism of the medical staff. Their attentiveness, efficiency and dedication made an otherwise stressful experience far more reassuring.
Given my firsthand experience, I can confidently say that the negative perceptions I had heard do not reflect the level of care I received.
My sincere appreciation goes to the dedicated healthcare workers at RIPAS Hospital for their commitment to patient care.
Grateful
