Polyclinics in Singapore

A polyclinic medical facility is a single clinic but not as big as a hospital. It is a medical facility where a patient can consult with various doctors, have minor procedures and pathological testing completed. A group of doctors (a dermatologist, dentist, psychiatrist, gynaecologist, ENT specialist, orthopaedic surgeon, paediatrician and ophthalmologist, for example). Establish the practice and operate under a single registration. Consider a polyclinic as a more advanced form of a standard medical clinic.
