"A nurse in Singapore can be assigned up to 12 patients to handle at any one time, whereas in Australia, there’s a limit of only six patients per nurse... Something about that has to change in Singapore,” she added

At the time of his passing, Ms Wan and other family members were getting tested for COVID-19, which was a requirement as her father was being moved from the emergency ward to the general ward. But by the time they got to his room after the tests, unfortunately, her father had already passed away.Ms Wan asked the doctor why they had not even been informed that her father was gone; he apologised but told her that the hospital was understaffed.

She had met a nurse who used to work in Singapore but had since relocated to Australia, and just so happened to have been employed while in Singapore in the hospital where Ms Wan’s father had passed away. “For example, a nurse in Singapore can be assigned up to 12 patients to handle at any one time, whereas in Australia, there’s a limit of only six patients per nurse. So they can only handle those six patients.”
