To cope with growing demand, NTEC enhanced service capacity in
various ways. The Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) was expanded
by adding one NICU bed in PWH. Additional operating theatre
sessions were added at PWH to shorten the waiting time for elective
operations for target disease groups, such as head and neck cancer
surgery, brain tumor surgery, cardiac surgery and eye surgery.
Services for chronic renal patients were expanded with additional
hospital and home haemodialysis as well as ambulatory peritoneal
dialysis quotas. Primary care services were enhanced by delivering
additional 13,380 GOPC attendances.
