The Public Free Clinic Society opens its fourth outlet in Jurong West in conjunction with its 39th anniversary.
SINGAPORE: A clinic which aims to bring affordable healthcare to the aged and needy in Jurong West was officially opened by Deputy Prime Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam on Sunday.
It is the fourth outlet of the Public Free Clinic Society, and was opened in conjunction with its 39th anniversary.
Mr Tharman said the clinic is a good example of community spirit as it is not set up by the government, but by a group of Chinese physicians, supported by the grassroots.
Opened since last September, the clinic sees an average of 2,500 patients a month.
The organisation currently has outlets in Geylang, Clementi and Tampines.
It plans to open another clinic in the East, specifically for the elderly with chronic illnesses like high blood pressure and diabetes.
