Health Kampung activities for residents in central-north to sign up online or via call centre
SINGAPORE – From July, some 1.5 million residents in the central and north regions can easily check out hundreds of free health and social care programmes and can sign up through a single Web portal, app or a call centre.The National Healthcare Group , which takes care of residents in the two regions, unveiled a directory of more than 450 programmes – which it calls Health Kampung – at its Population Health Collective annual workplan seminar on Friday.
Professor Eugene Fidelis Soh, NHG’s deputy group chief executive officer for integrated care and CEO of Tan Tock Seng Hospital and Central Health, said that NHG is building care networks, called Community of Care, in every neighbourhood in the central and north regions to bring together their GPs, community partners and various agencies to develop and organise programmes for residents.“I think our residents have challenges navigating a very complex health system,” said Prof Soh.
The GPs will be able to recommend certain programmes to their residents, and coordinators in the care networks can then link them up, he added.Health Minister Ong Ye Kung, who was at the seminar’s opening ceremony, said that some 800 GP clinics have joined Healthier SG since recruitment began in mid-March. This is out of 1,200 Community Health Assist Scheme clinics here.
The three clusters function as regional health managers, taking care of some 1.5 million residents each.
