What is required during the request for medical information?

Who can request for a Medical Report?

• A patient who is a minor may apply for a medical report with the consent of his/her parent or legal guardian 
  

• If the patient is deceased or mentally incompetent, consent is required from the appointed representative of the estate. If there is no representative appointed for the estate, a separate Letter of Undertaking has to be completed by all immediate next-of-kin of the patient. Copies of the death certificate and other supporting documents e.g. marriage certificate, birth certificate, and letters of administration, as proof of your relationship to the patient must be submitted together with the application.
  

• Interested third parties, with the consent of the patient.
  

• Please include this Letter of Undertaking under request for medical report for deceased / mentally incompetent patient.

How soon can I obtain the requested medical information?

As a general guide, please allow 4 - 6 weeks for processing of requests.
However, we may experience a delay in processing some requests due to:

• Patient's upcoming clinic appointments or if the patient has been warded
• The doctor is away on leave 

Why do I need to pay for medical report/completion of insurance form/copies of investigation results?

The regular consultation and hospitalisation fees paid do not include the cost for medical report. A fee to be levied for this additional service of providing medical reports to cover the hospital's administrative costs and the doctor's professional inputs. This is a standard practice across all Public Healthcare Institutions.
