If you are assessed as showing symptoms suggestive of COVID-19, as a Public Health Preparedness Clinic (PHPC) in Singapore, our team is able to perform a swab test at our clinic.
Requests and referrals for COVID-19 testing for asymptomatic patients are not allowed (e.g. for immigration purposes, employer’s request, for the worried well). If you are referred to us by another clinic or are a walk-in patient who is deemed to exhibit symptoms of COVID-19, you will not be charged for the consultation for the SASH scheme.
Our staff continue to maintain strict sanitisation procedures and safety distancing measures in our clinic as we work to serve you during this time.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”15px”][vc_column_text]FAQ
