Primary Care Model

Community Health Centres (CHCs) are set up in residential areas to provide ancillary health services, to support General Practitioners (GPs) in caring for their patients with chronic conditions.

CHCs are conveniently located within the neighbourhood to allow GPs and patients easy access to the services. CHAS, Merdeka Generation (MG) and Pioneer Generation (PG) cardholders can enjoy subsidised rates for CHC services.

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