History 

Bukit Merah Polyclinic is managed by SingHealth Group, a healthcare conglomerate which owns and operates nine polyclinics across the country. The polyclinics serve as gateways to primary healthcare for the community, playing an essential role in promoting healthy living and prevention of chronic diseases. Bukit Merah Polyclinic is located in Bukit Merah, a densely populated district in Singapore. SingHealth is Singapore’s largest group of healthcare institutions. The group was formed in 2000 and consists of four public hospitals, three community hospitals. Services provided by SingHealth include medical care, outpatient clinics, maternity services, dental care, optometry services, pharmacies and optical centers. In addition to its conventional healthcare services, SingHealth also offers innovative technology-based programs such as the Electronic Medical Record System (EMRS) and the Care Coordination and Management System (CCMS). In November 1999, then-Minister for Health Lim Hng Kiang announced that Singapore’s public healthcare institutions would be reorganised into two delivery networks, or clusters. The first cluster would focus on tertiary care, while the second would focus on primary care. This announcement was made in order to improve the quality of care and to better reflect the needs of Singapore’s population. On 18 November 2011, Changi General Hospital left SingHealth and formed the Eastern Health Alliance along with St. Andrew’s Community Hospital, SingHealth Polyclinics and The Salvation Army Peacehaven. This alliance is unique in that it brings together three separate healthcare providers under one roof to provide better care for patients. The alliance will also be able to share resources and expertise to make sure that patients receive the best possible care.
