Govt hospital

Services at Government Hospitals I think have improved over the years and can be relied upon when needed. However it can be a hit and miss affair due to large number of patients almost at all hospitals and clinics. Much patience is needed as waiting can be lenghty. Staff are mostly courteous though I have heard of nasty ones. I also notice there are many young female doctors, in clinics as well as in hospitals. You probably see one of them on your first visit to any govt clinic or hospital.

I just learned that except for emergency cases, one need to go to a clinic first and get treatment there. A referral will only be made to a hospital if a clinic cannot handle your situation or that you need further treatment. No such system in private hospitals, they receive anybody who can pay and can refer you to a specialist rightaway.
