The focus of NHG Polyclinic care is on disease prevention, early and accurate diagnosis, good disease management, health promotion, and continued care for patients after their discharge from hospitals. NHG Polyclinics works actively with NHG hospitals and institutions to develop integrated and seamless healthcare services for patients, as typified by the Direct Access Scheme, which has since served as the model for a similar healthcare network, developed with NHG’s GP Partners.

Each NHG Polyclinic provides a comprehensive range of health services for the family, including treatment for acute medical conditions; chronic diseases incorporating diabetic foot care services and diabetic retinal photography care, specialist services such as obstetrics and gynaecology. NHG Polyclinics are one-stop family health centres, equipped with good support facilities such as laboratory and X-ray services, mammography and ultrasonograms. Many offer dental and psychiatric outpatient care and their pharmacies carry a wide range of drugs and non-medical items.

NHG Polyclinics is the first primary healthcare provider to be awarded three ISO certifications: ISO 9001, 14001 and OHSAS 18001. NHG Polyclinic is also the first primary healthcare provider to attain the Singapore Quality Class (SQC) status in 2005. These standards speak of a safe and consistent level of family healthcare for all patients at all NHG Polyclinics.
