A new health hub will be built in Jurong that integrates a much bigger polyclinic with a 700-bed nursing home that will also provide short-term care for the elderly, so caregivers can have a break.
To cater to them, the polyclinic will have wider corridors to allow easy wheelchair access. It will be located 150m from the current polyclinic and will be 21/2 times larger. Mr Ang Wei Neng, an MP for Jurong GRC, said Jurong Polyclinic used to be the most crowded in Singapore until Pioneer Polyclinic was opened in 2017 in Jurong West and took some of the load, although it remains crowded.This is the second nursing home and polyclinic to be co-located.
There will also be a new Green card that any Singaporean may apply for. The Chas Green tier is in addition to the existing Chas Orange and Blue cards and gives up to $160 in subsidies a year.
