Ambulatory & Surgical
Ambulatory surgery, also known as outpatient or day surgery, entails minor procedures that don’t demand hospital admission. Patients, considered low risk for complications, undergo preplanned surgeries, often under local anesthesia or sedation. Following the procedure, patients rest briefly in a recovery area for observation before returning home to recuperate in familiar surroundings.

The A&E department follows a triage system to prioritize patients based on the severity of their condition. This ensures that critical cases receive immediate attention and that resources are allocated appropriately. While waiting times may vary depending on the urgency of each case, the staff at Columbia Asia Hospital strives to minimize waiting times and provide timely care to all patients. Below is an example of a triage system:
