SINGAPORE - Kallang residents can now access a range of healthcare services with a new polyclinic near their homes.

Kallang Polyclinic, which shares premises with Kwong Wai Shiu Hospital in Serangoon Road and is a five-minute walk from Boon Keng MRT station, expects to serve 1,000 patients a day.

Similar to a vending machine, it allows nurses to select from different types of vaccines for the one needed by a patient, such as a flu shot. Dr Valerie Teo, head of Kallang Polyclinic, said:"Now, as we are heading towards digitalisation and automation, we need to innovate especially primary healthcare, improve our efficiency and at the same time, enhance our patient safety."

According to the Department of Statistics, last year, at least one in five residents in the Kallang planning area was 65 years old or older.
