Visiting A Patient In Our Wards

We recognise that visitors play an essential role in our patients’ healing process. The following guidelines have been established to encourage visitors, while giving our patients the time to rest and recover. We seek your cooperation in following these guidelines.

Visiting Hours

Our visiting hours are 8.00am to 9.00pm daily (including public holidays).

All visitors to the wards are required to register via our Automated Visitor Registration System. You can register online prior to your visit and skip the queue at our Visitors Registration Counters. Visitors with foreign identification should proceed to the Visitor Registration Counters for registration.

This helps to manage the number of visitors to the wards, allowing for a more convenient and hassle-free visit at SKH. The system also facilitates contact tracing for the safety of our patients and visitors if the need arises.

Important Information

In line with Ministry of Health's latest guidelines, our visiting policy has been revised as follows:

Only 2 visitors are allowed at patient's bedside at any one time during visiting hours.
All visitors/caregivers entering the ward should bring their own mask which is to be worn at all times.
