Our vision
Preventative Medicine
We believe that quality primary care is the bedrock of a community's overall health. Major health issues such as diabetes, hypertension and other cardiovascular risk factors have to be addressed in order to reduce the incidence of strokes and heart disease. Such conditions require not only evidence based care but also treatment has to be tailored individually. One of the main focus for our clinic is to ensure that our patient's receive appropriate long term preventative healthcare.
General Medicine
Currently healthcare in Singapore is being increasingly specialised. Its common to see a single patient being treated by a number of specialist doctors for a host of different conditions. For example, a patient post discharge from hospital can be looked after by an endocrinology specialist for their diabetes, a cardiologist for their heart disease, a nephrologist for their kidney disease and a respiratory physician for COPD. Electronic medical records, do allow for such care to be integrated within hospitals. However when patients are discharged from hospital , there is a danger that the overall care of a patient can be fragmented. Potong Pasir Medical Clinic aims to provide a holistic and seamless care for complex medical patients. We have chosen to use a computer system that is integrated with the national healthcare database to allow us access to our patient's health records whilst treated in hospital.
Health Screening
Appropriate evidence based health screening plays an important role to both prevent or reduce the impact of disease. However indiscriminate testing can often result in unnecessary investigations which can cause harm and anxiety. In Potong Pasir Medical Clinic, our patients will be appropriately counselled and health screening will be individualised.
Mental Health
Increased awareness and societal attitudes have thankfully allowed for many patients to be more forthcoming with seeking help for mental health issues. With appropriate care and treatment, patients can lead highly functional and productive lives. In Potong Pasir Medical clinic, we aim to give our patients ample time during consultations and appropriate follow up care.
Women's Health
Women's health needs are unique and varied. Immunisations, pre/post natal care, health screening and family planning are some of the areas that may require specific healthcare. In Potong Pasir Medical Clinic, we aim to provide a special focus for women's health needs.
Affordable Healthcare
Rising healthcare costs can be a big burden for many. Ordering tests that are not clinically indicated and 'overprescribing' can lead to unnecessary costs. As such, we at Potong Pasir medical clinic strive to ensure that our average bill size is kept affordable. At Potong Pasir Medical Clinic, we will treat our patients as patients, not customers.
