MEDICAL
AMBULATORY MEDICAL CENTRE OF THE YEAR IN THE ASIA-PACIFIC
APTUS SURGERY CENTRE
A leading independent ambulatory surgery centre , Aptus Surgery Centre is located at the Paragon Medical Centre in Singapore , putting it within easy access to other related medical services , such as laboratories , diagnostic radiology services , and rehabilitative therapy for more holistic care .
Ambulatory surgery centres are medical facilities where surgical procedures that do not require an overnight hospital stay are performed . These procedures are commonly less complicated than those requiring hospitalisation .
Aptus Surgery Center provides a facility for surgeons and patients for short-term surgical operations and other medical procedures . It caters to patients who are short on time or visitors to Singapore who only have a few days to undergo surgery .
The centre is able to accommodate up to over 30 surgeries a day , offering procedures such as aesthetics and cosmetic surgery , colorectal surgery , dentistry , otorhinolaryngology , endoscopy , general gynaecology , and hand surgery , as well as health screening .
Other treatments include microreconstructive , oral-maxillofacial , orthopaedic , urological and vascular surgeries , and pain management .
Through effective turnaround times and manpower management , there is no risk of procedures being cancelled , and surgeons can choose the best time to operate , even offering night and emergency cases . Aptus prides itself in its rapid referral times — when

making a booking , patients can call in the morning and secure an afternoon slot on the same day . If a slot is available , it is reserved .
Aptus is exclusively designed with four state-of-the-art operating theatres that are equipped with cableless pendant systems , all the latest medical equipment , and advanced instruments . It offers a safe surgical environment and allows for an effective and productive workflow in which surgeons and medical staff can operate . Aptus also has an endoscopy suite equipped with the latest highdefinition cameras that allow surgeons to view their procedures with the utmost clarity .
Since Aptus is an AIA Partner in patient care , its patients can opt for cashless payments with a preauthorisation letter of guarantee , and with coverage from various other insurers such as Great Eastern , Prudential , NTUC , Aviva , and AXA , patients can be assured of a more affordable healthcare option with e-filing services .
Rather than a dowdy clinical environment , Aptus offers an ambiance that is welcoming and comforting , similar to that of a boutique hotel . With private recovery suites available , patients are assured of the best comfort for periods of up to 23 hours after surgery .
