The Pamela Youde Nethersole Eastern Hospital Intensive Care Unit (ICU) was formed in 1994, under the administration of the Department of Anaesthesia. In 2006, an independent Department of Intensive Care was formed with the combination of the Medical High Dependency Unit (Medical HDU) of the Department of Medicine and the ICU of the Department of Anaesthesia. We now have 18 ICU beds and 6 HDU beds in B10 and D10 wards.
