The Kranji Regional Health Hub is the first of six such hubs to be established across Singapore.
SINGAPORE: The Ministry of Defence on Monday launched the country's first regional health hub to provide"one-stop healthcare" to soldiers in the Singapore Armed Forces .
Senior Minister of State for Defence Heng Chee How officiated the launch on Monday, accompanied by Chief of Army Major-General David Neo as well as senior officers from the SAF and the Defence Science and Technology Agency. The specialist health services include dental services and satellite psychiatry services. It will also provide X-ray scans, blood investigations, electrocardiography and audiometry.
The Medical Dispensary System is automated and aims to"reduce the probability" of medication error and reduce logistical demands on medical staff, said MINDEF. Its IT system is integrated with SAF's medical records system to provide a"seamless dispensing and resupply workflow". Isolation rooms come with video intercom systems. These rooms will cater to staff presenting with potentially infectious conditions and will reduce the risk of cross contamination.
