SINGAPORE - Monthly subsidised screenings for metabolic diseases like hypertension and diabetes will be brought to the doorstep of those living near Serangoon North Ave 4, with the launch of the Jalan Kayu Community Health Centre on Saturday.
The centre will also conduct recreational programmes such as aerobic exercise classes and talks by professional dieticians on creating healthy homemade recipes. They will be run by community partners such as the Health Promotion Board, Sport Singapore and the Jalan Kayu Community Sports Network. Dr Mok said: “Under Healthier SG, doctors will now have to come up with health plans for patients and are expected to keep up with the monitoring of their health… By forwarding our patients to these community health centres, we can ensure that they keep up with their health plans. Also, we can collect data on our patients from the community health centres for monitoring.”
The centre is now open from 9am to 12pm Monday to Friday, but hours may be extended to 6pm when there are more volunteers to help run it.
