Community Health Centres

Community Health Centres (CHCs) are set up in residential areas to provide ancillary health services, to support General Practitioners (GPs) in caring for patients with chronic conditions. CHAS, Merdeka Generation (MG) and Pioneer Generation (PG) cardholders can enjoy subsidised rates for these services.

For better coordination and continuity of care, patients must be referred by GPs. Test results will be sent to the referring GPs for review and follow-up with patients. All services are by appointment only.

Available Services

The following is a list of services that may be available at CHCs.

Diabetic Foot Screening (DFS)
Detection of early foot problems in patients with diabetes to prevent complications and reduce the risk of leg amputations. Patients will also receive tips on proper foot care.

Nurse Counselling (NC)

The nurse counsellor will also support patients in identifying barriers and setting targets to keep their chronic conditions under good control.

Process for Referrals to CHCs

Step 3: On the day of the appointment, a trained healthcare professional at the CHC will perform the referred service(s) for the patient.

Step 4: The healthcare professional will contact the GP should there be any need for escalation or urgent concerning issues.

Step 5: Following the appointment, the report(s) will be sent to the GP for review and follow-up with the patient.
