Role of Polyclinics in Singapore
As Singapore’s 26th polyclinic, Khatib Polyclinic joins a vital network of healthcare facilities that have increasingly focused on health promotion and disease prevention. These polyclinics are integral to the nation’s shift towards preventive care, aiming to improve overall public health and reduce the burden of chronic diseases.
Expansion of Healthcare Infrastructure
The establishment of Khatib Polyclinic is part of Singapore’s broader initiative to expand its healthcare capacity to meet the growing needs of its population. With plans to increase the number of polyclinics to 32 by 2030, the government is ensuring that more residents have easier access to affordable and comprehensive medical care. This expansion is crucial in accommodating the healthcare demands of Singapore’s aging population and continuing to uphold high standards of health and wellness.
