Critically ill patients too unstable to move will remain at their current hospital, with NHSO directly absorbing medical expenses for those covered by the universal healthcare scheme.
Patients no longer critical but requiring inpatient care will be seamlessly transferred to a medical facility under their registered healthcare scheme, with NHSO actively managing the transition.
Families can request assistance for transfers directly from hospital staff or by contacting the 24-hour NHSO hotline 1330, ensuring support and alleviating financial anxiety.

The Hundred Thousand Lantern Festival, part of Yi Peng, fills temples and streets with countless traditional lanterns, symbolizing Buddhist devotion and personal wishes.
