We are open 7 days a week!

Dear patients, we now provide rapid testing for influenza to determine if one is infected with the influenza virus. We also carry Tamiflu, which is an antiviral to relieve or prevent the symptoms arising from influenza virus infection. Talk to our doctors to check if you’re suitable for the influenza rapid test or treatment.

Other recent updates:

1. We are a participating GPFirst clinic with Tan Tock Seng Hospital (TTSH). Under this programme, patients will receive a $50 subsidy on the emergency department attendance fee if they are referred to TTSH’s Accident & Emergency Department by our clinic after assessment.

2. We are now registered with MBS@Gov. This allows the clinic to directly bill the Government’s share of the medical bills incurred by civil servants, pensioners and their dependents. Civil servants will only need to pay their share of medical bills to the clinic upfront, hence saving them the hassle of making claims through PaC@Gov.

3.We are a GP panel clinic for Mednefits.

Stay tuned for more updates in the coming weeks!
