The National University Centre for Trauma also conducts community outreach efforts to prevent major injuries.
The centre will also lead efforts to enhance community safety and reduce the incidence of critical medical emergencies in the western region of Singapore.
His is one of about 140 industrial accidents handled each year by NUH, which attends to about 1,300 severe and critical trauma cases annually. The new centre will coordinate care with other hospitals in the west, as well as upcoming hospitals, such as the future Tengah General and Community Hospital, said centre director Raj Menon.
Migrant workers are one of three groups the new centre has identified for outreach and education efforts because the physical demands of their jobs expose them to a higher risk of trauma incidents. The new centre has also introduced Code Trauma, a response code which mobilises essential parties – such as emergency physicians, trauma surgeons and anaesthesiologists – to respond more quickly to patients with multiple injuries. This has halved the time in transferring a patient from the emergency department to the operating theatre.
