Healthier SG with Parkway Shenton

The Singapore government has embarked on the journey of preventive care in the community through Healthier SG. This is a national programme that aims to right-site care from the tertiary acute hospitals to primary care. The longer term objective is to leverage on community resources to drive preventive and holistic care, thereby reducing the incidence and severity of chronic diseases that will strain national healthcare systems.

Parkway Shenton is one of the early supporters of this initiative, being an active member of the Primary Care Network (PCN) council and operating more than 35 clinics in our own PCN. Our clinics in the PCN joined the Healthier SG programme since its launch in July 2023, and have enrolled about 17,000 residents by February 2024.

Our family physicians develop individualised health plans for each enrolled resident and encourage them to take up nationally recommended screenings and vaccinations. In addition to a Family Medicine Clinic, we operate as a dedicated chronic disease management centre. Some of our clinics also introduced screening services for common chronic conditions like diabetes, which provides convenience and accessibility to our patients, thereby encouraging compliance. These efforts contribute to the lowering of the burden of chronic diseases on the national healthcare systems in the long run.
