[NEWS] Book an appointment at polyclinic is now like fighting for concert tickets

[dxdx999]

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

Wtf I didn't know this until now

The problem is you. There are 1 clinic serving every few blocks. There are 1 polyclinic serving each district. Use backside to think also know to go clinic and not polyclinic.

You pay for them? Not everybody rich like you.

Why expand to 6m population when there is not enough polyclinic and hospitals? Is PAP going to build more hospitals? Then? Citizens cant get medical care how?

On the actual day try to book in the morning confirm can get those 3 4pm de. Jialat is after u see the doctor, need refer you go hospital, that 1 is the killer, best case wait 3 4 months, worst case 6 7 months for the appointment.

Yes i kana this before. Polyclinic already wait 4 month for nsc appointment for the specialist to issue me a steroid cream for my toe itch that healed 1 week after applying. That 4 month i have been trying all sort of off the counter meds including foot rot and dry skin meds all no use.

Even MRI Wana change date also difficult. Helpdesk said "overflow" , nngorG

 

[Joseph12]

And minister for health busy doing what?

 

[WarMage87]

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

Then how family doc finance his $52K/mth rental rates?

 

[popdod]

nope.
the 3 months wait is for non-urgency.

my GP clinic scheduled to TTSH for ENT within a week.

the killing process is like this.

poly refer to hospital to see specialist. this needs to wait 3-4mths typically. that's only SEEING.

if u need any scan, need to make appt for like 1-2mths wait.

then yet another wait for the next appt to SEE the specialist AGAIN for reviewing of scan results.
