Subsidized rates. For my case, because the polyclinic is located literally next door. Sheltered pathway.

Plus the family doctor already retired, unless urgent case, then I’ll just tag onto my hb’s account to see GP. $8 for dependents.

Well, Singaporeans have no problem getting concert tickets. Why would they have problem with polyclinics appointments if they believed they are similar?

Do you have any proof that sinkies have no problems getting concert tickets?

Family clinic even with blue chas card is v expensive. Only those with company benefit can no need to think and go clinic..

If Polyclinic is too busy, then use outside Clinic.
Just avoid Tampines Clinic that have $52K rental

your neighourhood GP clinic can refer to specialised clinics in govt hospital without going through polyclinic.

Just apply the Green Chas card , everyone (Sinkies) can apply for one.

you will still get subsidised

The one making the claim should be the one proving it.
this is called burden of proof.
