    Please post your code directly using code or highlight tags which are explained here. The graphics are very hard/impossible to read and the text they contain cannot be copied and pasted into our own work areas.

    Progress. Now explain specifically what you need help with. Copy/paste the assignment step(s) you're working on and the code you've written for those parts, any compiler or run time errors you're getting, describe any program behaviors you'd like to change, post sample runs if you can, and ask specific questions.

    In your main method you didn't instantiate the patient class so why you build a class that you are not using?

    If you want to search a patient using patient’s NRIC/birth cert then its better if you go for Hash-map instead of arraylist.
    make patient patient’s NRIC/birth cert as a key for hash-map and value as a patient class object.
    HashMap<String, Patient> patientHashMap = new HashMap<>();

    and then populate the hashmap as
    patientHashMap.put(patIC,new Patient(patName, patIC, treatment, treatmentDate, patStatus));

    i suggest you to use hash-map because it's easy with the hash-map to search using key based criteria.

    if(patientHashMap.containsKey(patIC)){
            	   System.out.println(patientHashMap.get(patIC));
               }
    .
