Kallang Polyclinic piloting automated vaccine management

From self-service blood pressure machines to having a dedicated health studio for health workshops and exercise classes, Kallang residents can now take charge of their health and well-being by accessing a range of healthcare services at the new Kallang Polyclinic.

The services provided by the polyclinic are in line with Healthier SG, the national focus on preventive health, with healthcare services provided only when needed and as efficiently as possible.

Speaking at the opening of Kallang Polyclinic yesterday, Health Minister Ong Ye Kung said that with a new facility comes fresh opportunities to try new ways to help residents stay healthy.

“Strengthening healthcare capacity is an important part of meeting our healthcare needs in the medium to long term. But with an ageing population and deteriorating health, it is not sustainable to keep expanding healthcare capacity to treat and manage illness,” he noted.
